Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 18, enacted by the 1984 Regular Session, and
entitled:
An act for the relief of Paradise Groves a partnership; providing
an appropriation to compensate the partnership for losses incurred
as a result of the actions of the Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission; providing an effective date.
This claims bill appropriates $12,567.46 for expenses incurred by
Paradise Groves as a result of the drawdown of Lake Tohopekaliga.
Incidental expenses incurred by a private party as a result of lawful
and proper action by the State should not be reimbursed. Lake
drawdowns undertaken by the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commis-
sion, the water management districts and the Army Corps of
Engineers are necessary to renovate and rejuvenate water bodies
which have become eutrophic because of unnatural water level
stabilization and nutrient runoff. This program, which began as a pilot
research operation on Lake Tohopekaliga, has become the primary
technique of restoring lakes.
While unique aspects to this case do exist, the reimbursement or
indemnification of expenses or costs because of lawful state actions is
not in the best interests of the State. Lake drawdowns will continue to
occur; indeed they would naturally occur were it not for the existence
of water control devices. Other programs which benefit the public as
well as protect and preserve public facilities and resources may from
time to time result in temporary inconvenience and expense. This
frequently occurs in road construction and maintenance projects.
Accordingly, for the state to reimburse those so affected who are able
to successfully obtain a claims bill is neither fair nor equitable. Ample
recourse exists through the courts for compensation which is justifi-
able.

Were this bill to become law, it would establish an unwise fiscal and

same.

Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 252, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1984, and entitled:
An act relating to state lands; providing legislative findings and
declaration; requiring the Board of Trustees of the Internal
Improvement Trust Fund to deed certain land to the San Antonio
Boys Village; providing that the land shall revert to the state if
not used as specified; providing an effective date.
This bill requires the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement
Trust Fund to deed certain described lands in Pasco County to the San
Antonio Boys Village.
Title to the land in question was acquired by the Trustees through
Chapter 420, Part III, Florida Statutes, the Florida Housing Land
Acquisition and Site Development Act of 1979. This section provides in
part that lands acquired in this manner that cannot be developed for
low or moderate income housing, be sold by the Trustees pursuant to
Chapters 253 and 270, Florida Statutes and the proceeds of such sale
be deposited in the Revolving Land Acquisition and Site Development
Trust Fund.
The deeding of this state owned land by the Trustees to the San
Antonio Boys Village without any consideration is clearly in conflict
with existing statutes and sets a precedent relative to future
dispositions of state-owned land that I feel is not in the best interest of
the state.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
252, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 3, 1984,

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

House Bill 344 provides $70,000 to pay an excess judgement for a
claim resulting from an accident which occurred between the claimant
and a Metropolitan Dade County bus.
In a jury trial, the claimant and his wife were awarded damages of
which $80,000 have been paid by Dade County.
In an attempt to avoid a constitutional issue related to the passage of
a local bill applicable solely to Dade County, the bill was amended to
provide that the $70,000 is to be appropriated from the State
Transportation Trust Fund and deducted from funds that would
otherwise have been allocated to Dade County in the Department's
five-year work program.
While there is little question regarding the legitimacy of this claim,
the precedent of utilizing State Transportation Trust Funds to pay a
claim against a local government cannot be justified.
A more appropriate recourse would be to pass the claim bill, if
justified, and allow the local government, through the judicial system,
to contest the constitutionality of the bill.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
344, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 3, 1984,

Dear Mr. Secretary:

By the authority vested in nre as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 382, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1984, and entitled:
An act for the relief of Johnnie Mae Singleton, and her husband,
Sterling F. Singleton; providing an appropriation to compensate
them for injuries and losses caused by the Department of
Transportation; providing and effective date.
The bill provides for the relief of Johnnie Mae Singleton of
Jacksonville for $100,000 from the Department of Transportation
funds for an incident which occurred in 1971 when the claimant
stepped on a manhole cover located in the middle of the sidewalk. The
cover gave way and she fell into the hole, sustaining injuries to her left
arm.
There has been no evidence presented that there is a legitimate
claim against the Department of Transportation from this incident.
This case was not tried by a court or presented to a jury. Also, the
report of the legislative masters in this case did not conclude that the
proximate cause of the injury was the negligence of the Department of
Transportation.
Further, Section 11.065(1), Florida Statutes, states that claims
against the state must be presented within four years after the cause
for relief accrued. As mentioned above, the incident which resulted in
the presentation of this claim occurred 13 years ago.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval clf ouse Bill
382, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 3, 1984,

Honorable George Firestone
Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Secretary:

By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections Committee Substitute for House Bill 431 enacted by the
1984 Regular Session and entitled:

An act relating to nursing homes and related health care facilities;
amending s. 400.162, F.S.; specifying funds and property that must
be maintained in trust; providing for handling of funds and
property of deceased residents; amending ss. 400.402, 400.411, and
400.441, F.S.; providing definitions, providing for an applicant to
submit a 12 month projection of financial data; limiting the use of
mechanical restraints in licensed facilities; providing an effective
date.

This bill, as it relates to nursing homes and adult congregate living
facilities (ACLFs), is of a particularly sensitive nature for Florida.
Public policy in our state must guard the health, safety and economic
interests of persons who are at risk because of circumstances which
leave them unable to make decisions concerning their own welfare.
Few groups command our respectful attention more than the elderly
women and men in the many nursing homes and the burgeoning
numbers of ACLFs around Florida. We bear strong responsibility for
assuring that their surroundings are safe.

Several sections of this bill do exactly that. The legislation refines
current nursing home law to provide clearer procedures for handling
the property and personal funds of residents.

It addresses the question of records and reporting concerning the
supervision within ACLFs of self-administered medication. This bill
also prohibits the use of restraints which would deny or limit mobility.

The Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services and legisla-
tive committees have uncovered horrifying evidence of physical and
emotional damage done to ACLF residents who have been bound to
their beds or otherwise restrained. One purpose of congregate living
facilities is to allow senior citizens the dignity of independence.
Physical restraints not only deny that dignity, but can lead to serious
and debilitating health problems. It is critical that the state be
empowered to halt these abuses of our citizens when they occur; this
bill would assure state authority. Further, we must ensure that the
property of nursing home residents be handled responsibly for those
persons and their heirs; this bill sets forth requirements that would
assure proper handling of such property.

For these reasons, I had supported the original concept of this
legislation, and regret that I am unable to sign the bill into law.

My objections focus on language addressing fire safety codes for
nursing homes which was amended onto the bill.

This section unfortunately has the effect of weakening the state's
ability to prescribe and enforce new and stronger fire codes for ACLFs.
The obvious hazards of this provision outweigh the positive effects of
other sections of the legislation. I cannot sign into law a bill which
counter-balances its positive benefits with other provisions that pose a
potential threat to the health and safety of ACLF residents. The
amendments found in section 4 of the bill would permit any ACLF
licensed prior to July 1, 1984, to comply with only those local life
safety code requirements :nd building code standards which were in
effect at the time of licensure. Many of these local regulations merely
alopt dated national fire code standards which di, not adequately
.madress conditions necessary for the safe operation of ACLFs. The bill
would prevent the state applying new ard improved fire safety
standards to facilities licensed before July 1, 1984, except under
limited circumstances. While the grandfatheringg" of dated safety
standards may be of significant economic benefits to some ACLF
owners, it is an unacceptable risk to the health and safely of their
residents.

Honorable George Firestone
Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 475, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1984, and entitled:
An act relating to insurance; amending s. 627.419, F.S., requiring
chiropractic coverage in certain insurance policies, plans, and
contracts; amending s. 110.123 (5) (a), F.S., relating to payments
to chiropractic physicians under the State Group Insurance
Program Law; providing an effective date.
This bill mandates that all health insurance policies, health care
services plans and other such contracts for the payment of medical
expense benefits or procedures include chiropractic coverage as an
integral part of the benefit structure.
This requirement raises several significant barriers to the attempts
by both public and private sectors in Florida to control rising health
care costs. Mandatory coverage of chiropractic care is likely to increase
overall health care costs, and is certain to increase health insurance
costs for persons who currently have no chiropractic coverage.
The State Group Insurance Plan experience indicates the possible
negative impact of this legislation on health care costs generally.
Under the state insurance program, 10,270 persons have opted for or
automatically receive chiropractic coverage, while 68,590 persons have
no such coverage. Statistics show that, during the 1982-83 fiscal year,
persons in that first group submitted non-chiropractic claims totalling
37 percent less than claims submitted by the second group; yet total
health care claims-chiropractic and non-chiropractic-for the first
group were 53 percent higher.
One effect of this bill would be that much of the cost of chiropractic
coverage would shift to non-users and perhaps to employers, through
increased health insurance premiums. Most cruelly, health insurance
costs would climb for retirees; for example, the increase would be
anywhere from $30 to $125 yearly for state retirees, a group in which
only 395 of more than 7,000 now opt for chiropractic coverage.
Some attempt was made in the legislation to limit claims by state-
covered chiropractic patients. The bill states, somewhat ambiguously,
that such payments shall be limited to "$400 annually or 28 office
visits annually whichever limitation results in the lesser payment of
insurance benefits." The $400 cap is about one-third again greater
than the average state chiropractic payout per person covered in fiscal
year 1982-83. Thus, the estimated additional cost to the state of such
law would be about $3.5 million each year, a reflection of both probable
increased utilization due to increased availability of coverage and the
shifting of costs from employees to the State.
This legislation also interferes unfairly in private business by
requiring every small business owner in Florida who offers insurance
to employees to add chiropractic coverage. Most large group insurance
plans already include this coverage and thus would be unaffected by
the mandate. However, the number of smaller employers who offer
employee pay-all options, as the State does, is unknown. As with the
State, the cost of health insurance benefits would increase for these
small employers, possibly resulting in an overall reduction of health
insurance benefits they provide.

The absence of this legislation from Florida Statutes does not
interfere with an individual's ability to receive chiropractic coverage, if
it is desired. Under present law, a person covered by the health
insurance policies addressed may request and receive chiropractic
coverage, at no cost to the other employees. This bill would result in all
employees under a group plan-whether or not they use chiropractic
services-bearing the cost of coverage.
Finally, health maintenance organizations may be negatively af-
fected by this bill. Chapter 641, Florida Statutes, exempts these
organizations from laws governing the insurance industry and, to my
knowledge, only one HMO in Florida offers chiropractic services.
However, the words in this bill "Notwithstanding any other provision
of law" would appear to subject HMOs to the chiropractic requirement,
thus negatively affecting their cost-containment efforts.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
475, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 3, 1984,
and do hereby veto the same.

BOB GRAHAM

Honorable George Firestone June 14, 1984
Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 572, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1984, and entitled:
An act relating to towing; amending s. 125.01, F.S.; providing for
the regulation of vehicles for hire; amending ss. 125.0103 and
166.043, F.S., providing that local governments may enact certain
ordinances relating to towing; amending s. 715.07, F.S., prohibit-
ing the towing or removal of a vehicle from a municipality under
certain circumstances; authorizing municipalities and counties to
require licenses for persons engaged in the business of removal
and towing of vehicles; authorizing municipalities and counties to
regulate the rates and methods of towing, removal, and storage of
vehicles; providing a penalty; providing an exception; providing
that if a stolen rental or lease vehicle is towed from private
property, the owner or its agent shall not be charged storage fees
for a certain time period; providing an effective date.
While most of House Bill 572 concerns towing, the bill contains an
amendment of Section 125.01, Florida Statutes, through which home
rule chartered counties would be authorized to regulate and control
entry into the market and prices in the taxicab, jitney, limousine and
car rental businesses. This bill is inconsistent with the standards in
the regulatory Sunset Act, Section 11.61, Florida Statutes, which
require a determination as to whether regulation is required in the
public interest. House Bill 272 would have the effect of imposing
regulations on a business without the requisite necessity to protect the
health, safety or welfare of the public. Furthermore, the amendment to
Section 125.01 would unreasonably and adversely affect the competi-
tive market in violation of Section 11.61.
In 1976, under the Regulatory Sunset Act, Chapter 323 of the
Florida Statutes was repealed effective July 1, 1980. Repealed Section
323.052 authorized chartered counties to regulate taxicabs subject to
limitations not contained in House Bill 572. House Bill 572 revives and
expands this authorization and extends it into the car rental business,
an area of the economy which has traditionally not been subjected to
regulation by local government.

Recent changes in federal law following the United States Supreme
Court's 1982 decision in Community Communications, Inc. v. City of
Boulder, Colorado place emphasis upon each State's policy with respect

7

December 6, 1984

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

to competition or regulation. If such regulation is to be enacted,
Florida's policy should be determined on a comprehensive basis by the
State, not delegated to local governments on a piecemeal basis. The
recent positive experience with deregulation in Jacksonville, where
neither entry into the taxicab business nor taxicab prices is controlled
except for safety and consumer protection standards, parallels success-
ful deregulation in other areas throughout the United States. These
examples are described in a May 1984 Economic Analysis of Taxicab
Regulation report of the Bureau of Economics, Federal Trade Com-
mission. This evidence suggests that Florida's consumers would not be
well served by this legislation and that fares would rise rather than
fall in the wake of such regulation.
Florida has been a leader in the national trend toward deregulation.
If Florida is to reverse direction, and move toward more rather than
less regulation, and more rather than less interference with free
market forces, it should do so only after careful examination of the
policy issues on a comprehensive statewide basis.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill 572,
Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 3, 1984, and
do hereby veto the same.

Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 953, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1984, and entitled:
An act relating to legislative organization, procedures, and
staffing; repealing s. 11.142, F.S., which sets procedures for
standing and select committees; providing an effective date.
House Bill 953 repeals Section 11.142, Florida Statutes, which states
that "each standing committee and each select committee shall meet at
such times as it shall determine and shall abide by the general rules
and regulations adopted by its respective house to govern the conduct
of meetings by such committees."
The effect of House Bill 953 would be to jeopardize the public's right
to observe and participate fully in the legislative process. In our
democracy, citizen involvement is fundamental to the freedom we
cherish; any threat to openness in government abridges that freedom.
Florida's landmark open government laws clearly indicate that it is
the policy of this state that all meetings of public officers at which
official actions are to be taken shall be open to the public. Exceptions
to this open meetings policy should be made only where there is
overriding and compelling evidence that it is in the public interest to
do so, and in a manner which is strictly limited to achieve that specific
public purpose. This measure does not meet that test.
Section 11.142 requires the legislature to follow its own rules. It was
adopted for the apparent purpose of providing for interim committee
meetings and the retention of full time legislative staff, following the
1968 revision of the state Constitution.
One argument for repeal of this section is that by a Constitutional
grant of power, the Legislature may make its own internal rules of
procedure, that it has done so since this section was adopted, and that
such procedures-under the separation of powers doctrine-should not
be subject to judicial review.
However, if the central concern here were one of separation of
powers and the inappropriateness of judicial review of the Legislature's
internal procedures, it would be logical to seek repeal of the many

OF REPRESENTATIVES December 6, 1984

other sections of Chapter 11 which govern internal operating proce-
dures of the Legislature.
Instead, this repeal is directed at resolving a particular legislative
concern regarding open committee meetings and a legal challenge to
closed conference committee proceedings. That challenge relies, in
part, upon this statute in conjunction with legislative rules requiring
committee meetings to be open to the public. This court case seeks to
open certain legislative meetings to the public and is now pending
before the Second Judicial Circuit Court, with a related action pending
before the Florida Supreme Court. The judicial process should proceed
uninterrupted.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
953, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 3, 1984,
and do hereby veto the same.

presumption of legitimacy; amending s. 458.303, F.S., exempting
the administration of nondental anesthesia by certain dentists
from the practice of medicine; providing an effective date.
This bill addresses two subjects. Its original concern related solely to
the dangerous use of anabolic steroids to enhance athletic performance
or body building. Most of the bill, therefore, concentrates upon the
prohibition for licensed physicians, osteopathic physicians, podiatrists,
naturopaths or dentists to prescribe, order, administer, supply, sell or
give such drugs for the purpose of body building or the enhancement of
athletic performance. The drugs specifically targeted include growth
hormones, testosterone or its analogs and human chorionic gonadotro-
pin (HCG).
The second subject of the legislation was added on the floor of the
Senate, without having gone through the regular legislative committee
process. As amended, the bill also allows administration of non-dental
anesthesia by a Florida-licensed dentist who has completed a residency
in anesthesiology at a school of medicine approved by the State Board
of Medical Examiners.
All evidence indicates that the use of anabolic steroids for strictly
athletic purposes is a growing social problem. Although their long-
term effects may be accelerated performance and aesthetic improve-
ment because of the increased ability to enlarge muscle mass, more
dangerous side effects can also be identified. They include liver cancer
and various liver disorders, male and female sterility and assorted
blood problems. When used in this way by teenagers or other young
people whose growth process has not ended, these drugs may lead to

stunting or loss of height. For these reasons, I supported the original
concept of the bill; and I am disappointed that I cannot sign this
significant safeguard into law this year.
My reservations about the bill are focused on the amendment that
would allow certain dentists with additional training in anesthesiology
to practice non-dental anesthesia.
Anesthesia, or the practice of "conscious sedation," is one of the most
complex fields of medical practice, traditionally ranking first or second
in malpractice insurance rates in every state in the nation. In Florida,
total claims have dropped in recent years, due to a stringent effort by
the profession and its regulators, but the severity of claims filed
remains the highest among all medical insurance classes. In lay terms,
bungled anesthesia may take the highest toll of all: Death or lifetime
impairment.
In anesthesiology, as in all other health professions regulated by the
State, several issues must be considered. The most paramount,
obviously, is that of the health and safety of patients, but the State
also bears a responsibility for the economic impact of regulation.
Health care costs must not be driven up unnecessarily because
competition is unreasonably restricted to only a portion of those
individuals capable of safe and effective practice.
Both health safety and economic issues need to be studied systemati-
cally in regulatory decisions about widening or narrowing scopes of
practice. Before I could sign into law any legislation opening this
delicate area of practice to persons previously unlicensed for the
purpose, I must be satisfied that numerous questions have been
systematically addressed and answered by the Legislature. Such
questions should include:
-Whether dentists trained as provided under this bill could
perform anesthesia with competence equal to that of a medically
trained anesthesiologist.
-Whether there is reasonable evidence to believe that health and
safety risks would increase if this scope of practice were added to
Florida law.
-What would be the appropriate procedure for certification,
oversight and discipline by the Department of Professional
Regulation for such practitioners.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee
Substitute for House Bill 997, Regular Session of the Legislature,
commencing on April 3, 1984, and do hereby veto the same.

BOB GRAHAM

Dear Mr. Secretary:
By authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under provisions
of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of Florida,
I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 1012, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of
Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the
Regular Session of 1984, entitled:
An act relating to land surveyors; amending s. 472.017, F.S.,
providing for mandatory continuing education prior to license
renewal; s. 472.013 (2) (d) is repealed; providing effective dates.
This bill provides for the Board of Professional Land Surveyors to
adopt rules mandating completion of at least 12 classroom hours per
year of continuing education as a condition of license renewal, effective
July 1, 1987. Additionally, the legislation repeals a provision of
current law which establishes a high school education and eight years
of related, supervised experience as sufficient to meet certain eligibili-
ty requirements for licensure. This change, which would take effect in

Honorable George Firestone

Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 1302 enacted by the Eighth Legislature of
Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the
Regular Session of 1984, and entitled:
"An act relating to educational facilities construction and funding;
authorizing specified acquisitions and authorizing and providing
funding for specified public education capital outlay projects and
planning therefore; amending s. 1(3) (a), chapter 82-240, Laws of
Florida; deleting a payback requirement for Chipola Junior
College; providing an effective date."
The decision to veto the Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO)
Bill has been made after thoughtful consideration of the immediate
and long-term implications.
Department of Education officials have informed me that appropria-
tions from the PECO Bill will not be available for distribution until
March of 1985. This delay is caused by a vote in November of 1984 on a
constitutional amendment which will extend the funding authority for
this program. If successful, this extension of funding authority will be
subject to judicial validation.
Should the constitutional amendment fail, the Legislature should
have the opportunity to reassess the State's total effort to fund the
capital needs of public education.

1994, would increase educational requirements for new licensees to the
associate of arts or bachelor's degree level.
The Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 makes clear the intent of the
Legislature concerning state regulation. That law establishes that no
profession, occupation, business, industry or other endeavor should be
subject to the state's regulatory power unless the exercise of such
power is necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare from
significant and discernible harm or damage. The exercise of the state's
police power should be used only to the extent necessary for that
purpose.
Additionally, the state bears a responsibility for the economic impact
of regulation. Costs must not be driven up unnecessarily because
competition has been unreasonably restricted to only a portion of those
individuals capable of safe practice.
The continuing education section of this bill would satisfy a valid
regulatory concern that licensed land surveyors in Florida remain up
to date regarding new standards of rule and newly developed
techniques.
However, the elimination of experience-based entrance into the field
appears unnecessarily restrictive. All applicants for licensure-wheth-
er college-trained or experienced under the section slated for repeal-
must pass an examination covering fundamentals, principles and
practice of land surveying. While there is a slightly lower passing rate
among those qualifying by experience, most of these candidates do
pass. Furthermore, no evidence exists that complaints and disciplinary
actions result proportionately more often against experience-based
licensees than against those with college training. More than 80
percent of current licensees originally qualified by experience. No
convincing arguments have been presented to abolish this traditional
means of entry into the field.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
1012, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing April 3, 1984,
and do hereby veto the same.

The policy implications of House Bill 1302 are very serious and, in
my judgment, fail to address the priority needs of Florida education.
Florida's public schools are in the midst of a renewed surge of
enrollment. The actual and projected full time equivalent enrollments
for Florida's K-12 program are:

Conversely, projects funded "off the top" or before the application of

state universities, have increased significantly.

In addition to meeting total enrollment requirements, the Legisla-
ture has committed Florida to important education reforms. Many of
these reforms have capital outlay requirements.
For example, by the 1986-87 school year, all graduating seniors must
have completed three years of science instruction, with a laboratory
science course. It is estimated that the cost of constructing and
equipping Florida high schools with sufficient laboratory facilities to
meet this graduation requirement will be in excess of $50,000,000.
My recommendations for appropriations from the Public Education
Capital Outlay and Debt Service Trust Fund to the public school
districts total $131,645,443, including a $5,000,000 appropriation from
the General Revenue Fund to augment $11,000,000 in PECO funds for
secondary school science facilities. The sum of the appropriations found
within this bill for public school districts total only $88,384,120, an
amount that I feel is insufficient to allow districts to maintain present
facilities and provide new facilities to meet requirements placed on
them by enrollment growth and curriculum reform.
The public school allocation has been a declining portion of total
PECO funds available.

While many of these projects are worthy, their collective scale has
distorted education priorities away from the public school at the time
when Florida's elementary and secondary needs are burgeoning.
Citizens concerned with the future of public education in Florida,
particularly members of the Legislature, have important responsibili-
ties before them in the next months.
It is imperative that we provide all citizens with the information
necessary to assure successful passage of the public education capital
outlay constitutional amendment in November.
With public support, we must reassess the policies which are utilized
in distributing these public funds, including:
The type, extent, conditions and priorities of "off the top" projects.
The appropriateness of existing methodologies to evaluate unmet
needs by the various sectors of public education.
The extent to which PECO and other State sources, rather than
local property taxes, should be the basis for funding elementary
and secondary capital outlay.
The capital outlay requirements of current or contemplated
public education reforms.
This will be a year of challenge and thoughtful consideration. I look
forward to working with the Legislature toward these constructive
ends.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
1302, enacted during the Regular Session of 1984, commencing on
April 3, 1984, and do hereby veto the same.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Honorable George Firestone June 14, 1984
Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval of portions of House Bill
1300, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida under the Florida
Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session of 1984, and
entitled:

"An act making appropriations: providing moneys for the annual
period beginning July 1, 1984, and ending June 30, 1985, to pay
salaries, other expenses, capital outlay-buildings and improve-
ments, and for other specified purposes of the various agencies of
State government; providing an effective date."
I have reviewed House Bill 1300, the General Appropriations Act,
and on balance find it to be a valid and carefully crafted plan for State
operations during FY 84-85. Although in general I support the
Legislature's finished product, there are nevertheless items which I
feel are inappropriate or not in keeping with State priorities.
Several trends have resurfaced in House Bill 1300 that require
mention in this veto message. One trend of concern is the pattern
evident in the case of several appropriations items, in which the
accompanying explanatory language associated with the item is not
descriptive of the actual appropriation. Only through extensive
additional research is one able to discern the real purpose. As an
example, item 1556A, discussed on page 6, relates to art grants. There
is no explanation of what this appropriation is for or where it actually
is intended to go. This lack of clarity makes it difficult for the members
of the Legislature, the executive branch, and the general public to
appreciate the actual purpose. In future appropriations bills I would
respectfully urge the Legislature to clearly enunciate the purpose
behind each item.
A second trend of concern is the lack of legislative adherence to an
overall policy framework in certain program areas. There is no doubt
that there is a legitimate public interest for the State to participate in
funding art programs or parks and recreation projects for example.
Unfortunately, in an era of limited resources, it is imperative that an
open and rational process be used to identify which projects are
selected and under what conditions. In those instances where procedur-
al steps exist to select and set priorities, these should be followed.
Where they are not in place, appropriate procedures should be
established. Items 1676A, 1676B and 1679A are instances of not
utilizing established decision-making methods.
For these reasons and others that are specifically articulated below, I
am withholding my approval of certain items in House Bill 1300.
Specific Appropriation 29A on page 4 appropriates $30,000 in
1984-85 from the General Revenue Fund for an environmental impact
study needed to apply for federal matching funds to construct a
state-operated domiciliary home for veterans. Receipt of these federal
funds will require a substantial commitment of State funds for
construction and operation of the home. No information is available to
accurately determine the level of future operating costs nor is there a
policy to support expenditure of State funds to provide residential
services exclusively for veterans. A decision to move forward on a
project of this scope should be made in the context of an overall
assessment of the needs of the elderly and handicapped citizens in the
State. Such a study will soon be underway and I expect the study to
address this question. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 29A and the
following proviso on page 4, which reads as follows, are hereby vetoed:
"29A Special Categories
Environmental Impact Study
From General Revenue Fund 30,000"
"In addition to funds in Specific Appropriation 29A, all depart-
ments shall, upon request of the Secretary of Administration, and
within the agencies' existing budgets, provide assistance and
support to the Department of Administration in the preparation of

environmental impact studies, site plans, architectural plans and
other studies required for completion of the application for a

veterans' domiciliary care facility directed by Chapter 83-227,
Laws of Florida."

Specific Appropriation 322A beginning on page 35 appropriates
$150,000 in 1984-85 from the General Revenue Fund for the estab-
lishment of a joint chiropractic program between the National
Chiropractic College and a college or university in Florida. This item
was not included in the agency's legislative budget request and there is
no evidence of unmet need for chiropractic services in Florida.
Therefore, Specific Appropriation 322A and the accompanying proviso
language on pages 35 and 36, which reads as follows, are hereby
vetoed:

"322A Special Categories
College of Chiropractic
From General Revenue Fund 150,000"
"Funds provided in Specific Appropriation 322A are a one-time
appropriation solely for the purpose of assisting the cooperative
efforts of the National Chiropractic College in establishing a joint
chiropractic program with a college or university in Florida.
Matching funds shall be provided prior to the receipt of any state
funds."

Specific Appropriation 353A on page 41 appropriates $250,000 from
the General Revenue Fund for research by the University of Miami on
AIDS. This item was not included in the agency's legislative budget
request. Additionally, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta,
Georgia, is conducting research on AIDS through federal funding for
the benefit of all states. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 353A on
page 41, which reads as follows, is hereby vetoed:

"353A Special Categories
Univ. of Miami Research Aids
From General Revenue Fund 250,000"

The proviso language on page 57 pertaining to Specific Appropria-
tion 412 contains $10,000,000 from the Working Capital Fund. This is
a duplicate appropriation. Therefore, the specific appropriation of
$10,000,000 referred to in the proviso on page 57, which reads as
follows, is hereby vetoed:

"In the event (b) and (c) requires more than $67,000,000,, up to
$10,000,000 from the Working Capital Fund shall be used for this
program. If the funds available for this program are not sufficient
to provide the authorized amount per student, the funds shall be
prorated."

Specific Appropriation 1585C on page 208 transfers $450,000 from
the Department of Transportation Working Capital Trust Fund to the
Department of Education. Specific Appropriation 505A on page 80
appropriates $450,000 and five positions in 1984-85 to the Department
of Education for the Florida Center of Transportation-Technology
Research. The proviso language in the paragraph which begins on page
85 and ends on page 86 delineates the objectives of the Center. In 1972
the Board of Regents established an interdisciplinary Transportation
Research Center (TRC) at the University of Florida. TRC has
completed considerable research and currently has contracts pending.
All of the TRC's work has been conducted without direct support from
the Legislature. Any studies desired by the Legislature may be easily
contracted with the existing TRC. Furthermore, the University of
North Florida also has a transportation study center which engages in
related research. The addition of a third program in the absence of a
coordinated systemwide plan seems redundant. I am of the opinion
that the Board of Regents and the Department of Transportation
should coordinate their efforts and jointly recommend a strategy for
funding transportation research activities. This strategy should resolve
the current conflict between funding sources. Finally, revenue collec-
tions available to the Department of Transportation are below the
earlier estimates and the use of $450,000 for this purpose would
further impair the department's ability to complete its mission.
Therefore, Specific Appropriation 505A on page 80, the proviso in the
paragraph which begins on page 85 and ends on page 86, and Specific

Appropriation 1585C on page 208, which read as follows, are hereby
vetoed:

to assistantships. Similar assistantships are not provided for the State
universities. Additionally, the plan specifies implementing an affiliat-

1984-85. The details to implement the affiliated program have not
been satisfactorily settled. Therefore, the $48,000 relating to this

Specific Appropriation 522A on page 82 appropriates $40,000 in
1984-85 from the General Revenue Fund for the Department of
Communications at the University of West Florida. During
1983-84 the Department of Communications at the University of
West Florida received a $110,000 General Revenue appropriation
for equipment. Since Specific Appropriation 522A is not in the
University of West Florida or the Board of Regents' budget
request, the specific purpose of the funding is unclear. Therefore,

On motions by Rep. Bell, Chairman, the rules were waived and
vetoed HB 1302 (1984 Regular Session) with veto message was
withdrawn from the Committee on Appropriations and taken up.

Honorable George Firestone June 14, 1984
Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 1302 enacted by the Eighth Legislature of
Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the
Regular Session of 1984, and entitled:
"An act relating to educational facilities construction and funding;
authorizing specified acquisitions and authorizing and providing
funding for specified public education capital outlay projects and
planning therefore; amending 's. 1(3)(a), chapter 82-240, Laws of
Florida; deleting a payback requirement for Chipola Junior
College; providing an effective date."
The decision to veto the Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO)
Bill has been made after thoughtful consideration of the immediate
and long-term implications.
Department of Education officials have informed me that appropria-
tions from the PECO Bill will not be available for distribution until
March of 1985. This delay is caused by a vote in November of 1984 on a
constitutional amendment which will extend the funding authority for
this program. If successful, this extension of funding authority will be
subject to judicial validation.
Should the constitutional amendment fail, the Legislature should
have the opportunity to reassess the State's total effort to fund the
capital needs of public education.
The policy implications of House Bill 1302 are very serious and, in
my judgment, fail to address the priority needs of Florida education.
Florida's public schools are in the midst of a renewed surge of
enrollment. The actual and projected full time equivalent enrollments
for Florida's K-12 program are:

In addition to meeting total enrollment requirements, the Legisla-
ture has committed Florida to important education reforms. Many of
these reforms have capital outlay requirements.

December 6, 1984

For example, by the 1986-87 school year, all graduating seniors must
have completed three years of science instruction, with a laboratory
science course. It is estimated that the cost of constructing and
equipping Florida high schools with sufficient laboratory facilities to
meet this graduation requirement will be in excess of $50,000,000.
My recommendations for appropriations from the Public Education
Capital Outlay and Debt Service Trust Fund to the public school
districts total $131,645,443, including a $5,000,000 appropriation from
the General Revenue Fund to augment $11,000,000 in PECO funds for
secondary school science facilities. The sum of the appropriations found
within this bill for public school districts total only $88,384,120, an
amount that I feel is insufficient to allow districts to maintain present
facilities and provide new facilities to meet requirements placed on
them by enrollment growth and curriculum reform.

The public school allocation has been a declining portion of total
PECO funds available.

In addition, this bill limits the allocation to secondary school science
facilities to $10,000,000, which is $6,000,000 below our recommenda-
tion. Failure to accelerate State funding will frustrate a major
education goal or thrust the funding burden back on the school
districts.
Conversely, projects funded "off the top" or before the application of
distribution formulas to the school districts, community colleges and
state universities, have increased significantly.

While many of these projects are worthy, their collective scale has
distorted education priorities away from the public school at the time
when Florida's elementary and secondary needs are burgeoning.
Citizens concerned with the future of public education in Florida,
particularly members of the Legislature, have important responsibili-
ties before them in the next months.
It is imperative that we provide all citizens with the information
necessary to assure successful passage of the public education capital
outlay constitutional amendment in November.
With public support, we must reassess the policies which are utilized
in distributing these public funds, including:

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

-The type, extent, conditions and priorities of "off the top"
projects.
-The appropriateness of existing methodologies to evaluate
unmet needs by the various sectors of public education.
-The extent to which PECO and other State sources, rather than
local property taxes, should be the basis for funding elementary
and secondary capital outlay.
-The capital outlay requirements of current or contemplated
public education reforms.

This will be a year of challenge and thoughtful consideration. I look
forward to working with the Legislature toward these constructive
ends.

For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
1302, enacted during the Regular Session of 1984, commencing on
April 3, 1984, and do hereby veto the same.

Sincerely,
BOB GRAHAM

220.03 Definitions.

(1) SPECIFIC TERMS.-When used in this code, and when not
otherwise distinctly expressed or manifestly incompatible with the
intent thereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(bb) For purposes only of the administration of the tax law as in effect
for the period September 1, 1982, through August 31, 1984, "unitary
business group" means a group of two or more corporations, at least one
of which is a Florida taxpayer, taxpayers related through common
ownership whose business activities are integrated with, are depen-
dent upon, or contribute to a flow of value among members of the
group. When direct or indirect ownership or control is 50 percent or
more of the outstanding voting stock, the group shall be considered to
be a unitary business group unless clearly shown by the facts and
circumstances of the individual case to be a nonunitary business group.
When direct or indirect ownership or control is less than 50 percent of
the outstanding voting stock, all elements of the business activities
shall be considered in determining whether the group qualifies as a
unitary business group.

(5)

(c) A taxpayer may make an election, in the manner prescribed by
the department, by August 26, 1982, or a taxpayer filing an initial
return may make an election upon filing the first return for the tax
due under this chapter, whichever is later, to report and pay the tax
levied by this chapter as if:

1. The Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended and in effect on
January 1, 1980, is in effect indefinitely thereafter; and

2. Solely for the purpose of computing depreciation deductions, the
provisions of chapter 220, Florida Statutes, 1980 Supplement, are in

For the purposes of taxation of taxpayers who make the election
provided for in this paragraph, the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended and in effect on January 1, 1980, shall include, for tax years
beginning on or after January 1, 1982, the provisions of the Foreign
Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, Subtitle C of Title XI of
Pub. L. No. 96-499 and the amendments to those provisions codified in
the Internal Revenue Code, as defined in paragraph (1)(n). Taxpayers
may one time only revoke an election made pursuant to this
paragraph, in accordance with rules formulated by the department.
Such revocation shall be prospective in nature, and all transactions
and events occurring during the period during which the election
provided for in this paragraph is in effect and the continuing tax
ramifications of such events and transactions shall be governed by the
provisions of this paragraph.

Section 5. Paragraph (e) is added to subsection (1) of section 220.13,
Florida Statutes, 1984 Supplement, to read:

220.13 "Adjusted federal income" defined.--
(1) The term "adjusted federal income" means an amount equal to
the taxpayer's taxable income as defined in subsection (2), or such
taxable income of more than one taxpayer as provided in s. 220.131, for
the taxable year, adjusted as follows:

(e) A deduction for net operating losses, net capital losses, or excess
contributions deductions under ss. 170(d)(2), 172, 1212, and 404 of the
Internal Revenue Code which has been allowed in a prior taxable year

for Florida tax purposes shall not be allowed for Florida tax purposes,
notwithstanding the fact that such deduction has not been fully utilized
for federal tax purposes.

for the most recent taxable year of that processor. That sales factor,
expressed only as a percentage and not in terms of the dollar volume of
sales, so as to protect the confidentiality of the sales of the processor,
shall be furnished on the request of such a grower promptly after it has

Legislative Intent
Without objection, the following statement of legislative intent on
SB 1-A was read into the record by Rep. Easley:
1) The deferred Domestic International Sales Corporation's (DISC)
income that has been forgiven as being taxable for Federal tax
purposes is not taxable under this bill for Florida income tax purposes.
For this income to be taxed in Florida, specific language would have to
be added to the Florida Code.

2) Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC) are corporations that have a
physical location outside the U.S. and operate outside the U.S.
Accordingly, FSC's would not be subject to the Florida income tax
under this bill.
On motion by Rep. Ogden, the rules were waived and SB 1-A, as
amended, was read the third time by title. On passage, the vote was:

Consideration of Vetoed HB 1300 (1984 Regular Session)
On motion by Rep. B. L. Johnson, the rules were waived and HB
1300 with veto message was taken up.

Honorable George Firestone June 14, 1984
Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval of portions of House Bill

25

1300, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida under the Florida
Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session of 1984, and
entitled:

"An act making appropriations: providing moneys for the annual
period beginning July 1, 1984, and ending June 30, 1985, to pay
salaries, other expenses, capital outlay-buildings and improve-
ments, and for other specified purposes of the various agencies of
State government; providing an effective date."
I have reviewed House Bill 1300, the General Appropriations Act,
and on balance find it to be a valid and carefully crafted plan for State
operations during FY 84-85. Although in general I support the
Legislature's finished product, there are nevertheless items which I
feel are inappropriate or not in keeping with State priorities.

Several trends have resurfaced in House Bill 1300 that require
mention in this veto message. One trend of concern is the pattern
evident in the case of several appropriations items, in which the
accompanying explanatory language associated with the item is not
descriptive of the actual appropriation. Only through extensive
additional research is one able to discern the real purpose. As an
example, item 1556A, discussed on page 6, relates to art grants. There
is no explanation of what this appropriation is for or where it actually
is intended to go. This lack of clarity makes it difficult for the members
of the Legislature, the executive branch, and the general public to
appreciate the actual purpose. In future appropriations bills I would
respectfully urge the Legislature to clearly enunciate the purpose
behind each item.

A second trend of concern is the lack of legislative adherence to an
overall policy framework in certain program areas. There is no doubt
that there is a legitimate public interest for the State to participate in
funding art programs or parks and recreation projects for example.
Unfortunately, in an era of limited resources, it is imperative that an
open and rational process be used to identify which projects are
selected and under what conditions. In those instances where procedur-
al steps exist to select and set priorities, these should be followed.
Where they are not in place, appropriate procedures should be
established. Items 1676A, 1676B and 1679A are instances of not
utilizing established decision-making methods.
For these reasons and others that are specifically articulated below, I
am withholding my approval of certain items in House Bill 1300.
Specific Appropriation 29A on page 4 appropriates $30,000 in
1984-85 from the General Revenue Fund for an environmental impact
study needed to apply for federal matching funds to construct a
state-operated domiciliary home for veterans. Receipt of these federal
funds will require a substantial commitment of State funds for
construction and operation of the home. No information is available to
accurately determine the level of future operating costs nor is there a
policy to support expenditure of State funds to provide residential
services exclusively for veterans. A decision to move forward on a
project of this scope should be made in the context of an overall
assessment of the needs of the elderly and handicapped citizens in the
State. Such a study will soon be underway and I expect the study to
address this question. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 29A and the
following proviso on page 4, which reads as follows, are hereby vetoed:
"29A Special Categories
Environmental Impact Study
From General Revenue Fund 30,000
"In addition to funds in Specific Appropriation 29A, all depart-
ments shall, upon request of the Secretary of Administration, and
within the agencies' existing budgets, provide assistance and
support to the Department of Administration in the preparation of
environmental impact studies, site plans, architectural plans and
other studies required for completion of the application for a
veterans' domiciliary care facility directed by Chapter 83-227,
Laws of Florida."

Specific Appropriation 322A beginning on page 35 appropriates
$150,000 in 1984-85 from the General Revenue Fund for the estab-

lishment of a joint chiropractic program between the National
Chiropractic College and a college or university in Florida. This item

December 6, 1984

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

26 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE]

was not included in the agency's legislative budget request and there is
no evidence of unmet need for chiropractic services in Florida. Therefore,
Specific Appropriation 322A and the accompanying proviso language on
pages 35 and 36, which reads as follows, are hereby vetoed:
"322A Special Categories
College of Chiropractic
From General Revenue Fund 150,000
"Funds provided in Specific Appropriation 322A are a one-time
appropriation solely for the purpose of assisting the cooperative
efforts of the National Chiropractic College in establishing a joint
chiropractic program with a college or university in Florida.
Matching funds shall be provided prior to the receipt of any state
funds."
Specific Appropriation 353A on page 41 appropriates $250,000 from
the General Revenue Fund for research by the University of Miami on
AIDS. This item was not included in the agency's legislative budget
request. Additionally, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta,
Georgia, is conducting research on AIDS through federal funding for the
benefit of all states. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 353A on page 41,
which reads as follows, is hereby vetoed:
"353A Special Categories
Univ. of Miami Research-AIDS
From General Revenue Fund 250,000"
The proviso language on page 57 pertaining to Specific Appropriation
412 contains $10,000,000 from the Working Capital Fund. This is a
duplicate appropriation. Therefore, the specific appropriation of $10,-
000,000 referred to in the proviso on page 57, which reads as follows, is
hereby vetoed:
"In the event (b) and (c) requires more than $67,000,000, up to
$10,000,000 from the Working Capital Fund shall be used for this
program. If the funds available for this program are not sufficient to
provide the authorized amount per student, the funds shall be
prorated."
Specific Appropriation 1585C on page 208 transfers $450,000 from the
Department of Transportation Working Capital Trust Fund to the
Department of Education. Specific Appropriation 505A on page 80
appropriates $450,000 and five positions in 1984-85 to the Department of
Education for the Florida Center of Transportation-Technology Re-
search. The proviso language in the paragraph which begins on page 85
and ends on page 86 delineates the objectives of the Center. In 1972 the
Board of Regents established an interdisciplinary Transportation
Research Center (TRC) at the University of Florida. TRC has completed
considerable research and currently has contracts pending. All of the
TRC's work has been conducted without direct support from the
Legislature. Any studies desired by the Legislature may be easily
contracted with the existing TRC. Furthermore, the University of North
Florida also has a transportation study center which engages in related
research. The addition of a third program in the absence of a coordinated
systemwide plan seems redundant. I am of the opinion that the Board of
Regents and the Department of Transportation should coordinate their
efforts and jointly recommend a strategy for funding transportation
research activities. This strategy should resolve the current conflict
between funding sources. Finally, revenue collections available to the
Department of Transportation are below the earlier estimates and the
use of $450,000 for this purpose would further impair the department's
ability to complete its mission. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 505A on
page 80, the proviso in the paragraph which begins on page 85 and ends
on page 86, and Specific Appropriation 1585C on page 208, which read as
follows, are hereby vetoed:

either the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission or the
Department of Law Enforcement. It has not been determined whether
the center is cost effective, sound from a policy perspective or whether
it duplicates existing services. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 1349A

Proviso language associated with Specific Appropriation 511 on page
81 provides $48,000 in General Revenue Dollars for the University of
Miami for the affiliated program for developmental psychology. The
Southeast Florida program development budget request plan ties the
funds for the University of Miami Developmental Psychology program to
assistantships. Similar assistantships are not provided for the State
universities. Additionally, the plan specifies implementing an affiliated
psychology program among Florida International University, Florida
Atlantic University and the University of Miami during 1984-85. The
details to implement the affiliated program have not been satisfactorily
settled. Therefore, the $48,000 relating to this proposal and the proviso in
the first sentence in the last paragraph on page 87, which reads as
follows, is hereby vetoed:
". $48,000 for University of Miami for the affiliated program in

Specific Appropriation 522A on page 82 appropriates $40,000 in

Communications at the University of West Florida. During 1983-84
the Department of Communications at the University of West Florida
received a $110,000 General Revenue appropriation for equipment.
Since Specific Appropriation 522A is not in the University of West
Florida or the Board of Regents' budget request, the specific purpose of
the funding is unclear. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 522A on page

Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission and the use of the Land

vetoed:

Specific Appropriation 1556A on page 203 and the accompanying
proviso language appropriates $875,500 in 1984-85 from the General
Revenue Fund for the Art Facilities Development and Operations
Program and up to $500,000 for the partial repayment of a loan to the
Jacksonville Arts Assembly. The $875,500 is not appropriated for
projects prioritized in a statewide plan for improvements to art
facilities. A plan should be developed on a statewide basis to determine
the needs of arts facilities and funds appropriated accordingly.
However, the $500,000 appropriation for the Florida Theatre is for a
project that will be the property of the City of Jacksonville and is an
ongoing project which has been reviewed by the Legislature. This
action continues the commitment by the state to a significant
historical center and is accordingly not vetoed. Therefore, $875,500 of

which reads as follows, is hereby vetoed:

revised, to correct

Continuation of HB 1300 (1984 Regular Session)
On motion by Rep. Bell, the rules were waived and HB 1300 (1984
Regular Session) with veto message was taken up.

Honorable George Firestone June 14, 1984
Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval of portions of House Bill
1300, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida under the Florida
Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session of 1984, and
entitled:
"An act making appropriations: providing moneys for the annual
period beginning July 1, 1984, and ending June 30, 1985, to pay
salaries, other expenses, capital outlay-buildings and improve-
ments, and for other specified purposes of the various agencies of
State government; providing an effective date."
I have reviewed House Bill 1300, the General Appropriations Act,
and on balance find it to be a valid and carefully crafted plan for State
operations during FY 84-85. Although in general I support the
Legislature's finished product, there are nevertheless items which I
feel are inappropriate or not in keeping with State priorities.
Several trends have resurfaced in House Bill 1300 that require
mention in this veto message. One trend of concern is the pattern
evident in the case of several appropriations items, in which the
accompanying explanatory language associated with the item is not
descriptive of the actual appropriation. Only through extensive
additional research is one able to discern the real purpose. As an
example, item 1556A, discussed on page 6, relates to art grants. There
is no explanation of what this appropriation is for or where it actually
is intended to go. This lack of clarity makes it difficult for the. members
of the Legislature, the executive branch, and the general public to
appreciate the actual purpose. In future appropriations bills I would
respectfully urge the Legislature to clearly enunciate the purpose
behind each item.
A second trend of concern is the lack of legislative adherence to an
overall policy framework in certain program areas. There is no doubt
that there is a legitimate public interest for the State to participate in
funding art programs or parks and recreation projects for example.
Unfortunately, in an era of limited resources, it is imperative that an
open and rational process be used to identify which projects are
selected and under what conditions. In those instances where procedur-
al steps exist to select and set priorities, these should be followed.
Where they are not in place, appropriate procedures should be
established. Items 1676A, 1676B and 1679A are instances of not
utilizing established decision-making methods.
For these reasons and others that are specifically articulated below, I
am withholding my approval of certain items in House Bill 1300.
Specific Appropriation 29A on page 4 appropriates $30,000 in
1984-85 from the General Revenue Fund for an environmental impact
study needed to apply for federal matching funds to construct a
state-operated domiciliary home for veterans. Receipt of these federal

32

A digest of today's Chamber action appears on last page

Number 2

December 7, 1984

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

funds will require a substantial commitment of State funds for
construction and operation of the home. No information is available to
accurately determine the level of future operating costs nor is there a
policy to support expenditure of State funds to provide residential
services exclusively for veterans. A decision to move forward on a
project of this scope should be made in the context of an overall
assessment of the needs of the elderly and handicapped citizens in the
State. Such a study will soon be underway and I expect the study to
address this question. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 29A and the
following proviso on page 4, which reads as follows, are hereby vetoed:
"29A Special Categories
Environmental Impact Study
From General Revenue Fund 30,000
"In addition to funds in Specific Appropriation 29A, all depart-
ments shall, upon request of the Secretary of Administration, and
within the agencies' existing budgets, provide assistance and
support to the Department of Administration in the preparation of
environmental impact studies, site plans, architectural plans and
other studies required for completion of the application for a
veterans' domiciliary care facility directed by Chapter 83-227,
Laws of Florida."
Specific Appropriation 322A beginning on page 35 appropriates
$150,000 in 1984-85 from the General Revenue Fund for the estab-
lishment of a joint chiropractic program between the National
Chiropractic College and a college or university in Florida. This item
was not included in the agency's legislative budget request and there is
no evidence of unmet need for chiropractic services in Florida.
Therefore, Specific Appropriation 322A and the accompanying proviso
language on pages 35 and 36, which reads as follows, are hereby
vetoed:
"322A Special Categories
College of Chiropractic
From General Revenue Fund 150,000
"Funds provided in Specific Appropriation 322A are a one-time
appropriation solely for the purpose of assisting the cooperative
efforts of the National Chiropractic College in establishing a joint
chiropractic program with a college or university in Florida.
Matching funds shall be provided prior to the receipt of any state
funds."
Specific Appropriation 353A on page 41 appropriates $250,000 from
the General Revenue Fund for research by the University of Miami on
AIDS. This item was not included in the agency's legislative budget
request. Additionally, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta,
Georgia, is conducting research on AIDS through federal funding for
the benefit of all states. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 353A on
page 41, which reads as follows, is hereby vetoed:
"353A Special Categories
Univ. of Miami Research-AIDS
From General Revenue Fund 250,000"
The proviso language on page 57 pertaining to Specific Appropria-
tion 412 contains $10,000,000 from the Working Capital Fund. This is
a duplicate appropriation. Therefore, the specific appropriation of
$10,000,000 referred to in the proviso on page 57, which reads as
follows, is hereby vetoed:
"In the event (b) and (c) requires more than $67,000,000, up to
$10,000,000 from the Working Capital Fund shall be used for this
program. If the funds available for this program are not sufficient
to provide the authorized amount per student, the funds shall be
prorated."
Specific Appropriation 1585C on page 208 transfers $450,000 from
the Department of Transportation Working Capital Trust Fund to the
Department of Education. Specific Appropriation 505A on page 80
appropriates $450,000 and five positions in 1984-85 to the Department
of Education for the Florida Center of Transportation-Technology
Research. The proviso language in the paragraph which begins on page

85 and ends on page 86 delineates the objectives of the Center. In 1972
the Board of Regents established an interdisciplinary Transportation
Research Center (TRC) at the University of Florida. TRC has

33

completed considerable research and currently has contracts pending.
All of the TRC's work has been conducted without direct support from
the Legislature. Any studies desired by the Legislature may be easily
contracted with the existing TRC. Furthermore, the University of
North Florida also has a transportation study center which engages in
related research. The addition of a third program in the absence of a
coordinated systemwide plan seems redundant. I am of the opinion
that the Board of Regents and the Department of Transportation
should coordinate their efforts and jointly recommend a strategy for
funding transportation research activities. This strategy should resolve
the current conflict between funding sources. Finally, revenue collec-
tions available to the Department of Transportation are below the
earlier estimates and the use of $450,000 for this purpose would
further impair the department's ability to complete its mission.
Therefore, Specific Appropriation 505A on page 80, the proviso in the
paragraph which begins on page 85 and ends on page 86, and Specific
Appropriation 1585C on page 208, which read as follows, are hereby
vetoed:

"505A Lump Sum

Technology Research

"The Center for Transportation Technology Research, University
of South Florida, Specific Appropriation 505A, shall have as its

als; (2) prevention of future crises through timely identification of
problems and development of solutions; (3) research to solve state
transportation problems using current technology and developing
new technology. The studies shall be completely independent of all
Florida Department of Transportation directed research efforts. No
instruction shall be undertaken by the Center.
"1585C Lump Sum
Transfer to DOE for Center for
Transportation Technology Research
From Working Capital Trust Fund 450,000"
Proviso language associated with Specific Appropriation 511 on page
81 provides $48,000 in General Revenue Dollars for the University of
Miami for the affiliated program for developmental psychology. The
Southeast Florida program development budget request plan ties the
funds for the University of Miami Developmental Psychology program
to assistantships. Similar assistantships are not provided for the State
universities. Additionally, the plan specifies implementing an affiliat-
ed psychology program among Florida International University,
Florida Atlantic University and the University of Miami during
1984-85. The details to implement the affiliated program have not
been satisfactorily settled. Therefore, the $48,000 relating to this
proposal and the proviso in the first sentence in the last paragraph on
page 87, which reads as follows, is hereby vetoed:
". .. $48,000 for University of Miami for the affiliated program in
developmental psychology and..."
Specific Appropriation 522A on page 82 appropriates $40,000 in
1984-85 from the General Revenue Fund for the Department of
Communications at the University of West Florida. During 1983-84
the Department of Communications at the University of West Florida
received a $110,000 General Revenue appropriation for equipment.
Since Specific Appropriation 522A is not in the University of West
Florida or the Board of Regents' budget request, the specific purpose of
the funding is unclear. Therefore, Specific Appropriation 522A on page
82, which reads as follows, is hereby vetoed:

Division of Fisheries' State Game Trust Fund for the phosphate fishing
program. This fisheries research program was not requested by the
Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission and the use of the Land
Reclamation Administration Trust Fund for recreational fishing

the needs of arts facilities and funds appropriated accordingly.
However, the $500,000 appropriation for the Florida Theatre is for a
project that will be the property of the City of Jacksonville and is an
ongoing project which has been reviewed by the Legislature. This
action continues the commitment by the state to a significant
historical center and is accordingly not vetoed. Therefore, $875,500 of

Honorable George Firestone
Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8 of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 341, enacted by the
Eighth Legislature of Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968
Revision, during the Regular Session of 1984, and entitled:
An act relating to medical practice; amending s. 474.214, F.S.,
requiring a licensee to report certain violations; amending s.
458.303, F.S.; limiting the issuance of medical faculty certificates;
permitting qualified dentists to administer nondental anesthesia;
amending s. 458.307, F.S.; permitting medical college physicians
to be members of the board; amending ss. 458.311, 458.313 and
458.319, F.S.; increasing maximum license fees; clarifying educa-

tional requirements for licensure; clarifying examination require-
ments for licensure by endorsement; relating to graduates of
foreign medical schools; creating s. 458.349, F.S.; defining "medi-
cal assistant"; providing for duties; providing for certification;
amending s. 458.347, F.S.; changing exceptions to the require-
ments for programs for the education and training of physician's
assistants; amending s. 381.494, F.S.; providing an effective date.
This bill addresses several professions within the Department of
Professional Regulation. It sets forth a procedure for dealing with
impaired veterinarians. Provisions relating to Chapter 458, Florida
Statutes, concerning medical practice, include a limitation on the
issuance of medical faculty certificates; removal of a prohibition in
current law forbidding medical college physicians from sitting on the
State Board of Medical Examiners; increasing licensure and examina-
tion fees; and clarifying certain requirements for licensure by endorse-
ment. The bill also strengthens the section of law dealing with
physician's assistants by removing exemptions; and it clarifies the
certificate-of-need process for osteopathic acute-care hospitals.
Certain provisions in this bill are particularly laudable. I refer
specifically to sections relating to graduates of foreign medical schools
and to the newly defined profession of "medical assistant." Each of
these provisions would open the doors for qualified foreign-trained
health care professionals to serve in the careers for which they have
trained and for which they have proven themselves capable under
Florida law.
The section directly relating to these graduates was developed with
the active assistance of the Department of Professional Regulation.
This provision would provide flexibility for foreign-trained graduates
to take the state licensing exam, if it is available, before completion of
an approved internship; at the same time, early examination would not
eliminate the requirement of completing the internship, nor would it
otherwise interfere with statutory safeguards for licensure.
The bill also creates the new category of "medical assistant," to
mean a person who assists in all aspects of medical practice under the
direct responsibility of a physician. This category, which would differ
from that of the physician's assistant who need not be under direct
supervision, would allow foreign-trained personnel to work in related
fields while they wait to begin internships.
I am supportive of allowing access to the regulated professions for
foreign-trained individuals who demonstrate ability to meet state
standards for practice. Therefore, I supported the original concept of
this bill; and I am disappointed that I cannot sign into law this year.
My objections to the bill focus on a section which was added on the
floor of the Senate, without having gone through the regular
legislative committee process. As amended, the bill allows adminis-
tration of nondental anesthesia by a Florida-licensed dentist who has
completed a residency program in anesthesiology at a school of
medicine approved by the Board of Medical Examiners.
Anesthesia is one of the most complex fields of medical practice,
traditionally ranking first or second in malpractice insurance rates in
every state in the nation. In Florida, total claims have dropped in
recent years, due to efforts by the profession and its regulators, but the
severity of claims filed remains the highest among all medical
insurance classes.
In anesthesiology, as in all other health professions regulated by the
State, several issues must be considered. The most paramount,
obviously, is that of the health and safety of patients, but the State
also bears a responsibility for the economic impact of regulation.
Health care costs must not be driven up unnecessarily because
competition is unreasonably restricted to only a portion of those
individuals competent to practice safely and effectively.
Both health safety and economic issues need to be studied carefully
in regulatory decisions about widening or narrowing scopes of practice.
Before I could sign into law any legislation opening the delicate area of
anesthesiology to persons previously unlicensed for the purpose, I must

be satisfied that numerous questions have been systematically ad-
dressed and answered by the Legislature. Such questions should
include:

36

December 7, 1984

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

-Whether dentists trained as provided under this bill could perform
anesthesia with competence equal to that of an anesthesiologist
otherwise medically trained.

-Whether there is reasonable evidence to believe that health and
safety risks would increase if this scope of practice were added to
Florida law.

-What would be the appropriate procedure for licensure, oversight
and discipline by the Department of Professional Regulation for
such practitioners.

For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee
Substitute for Senate Bill 341, Regular Session of the Legislature,
commencing on April 3, 1984, and do hereby veto the same.

Sincerely,
BOB GRAHAM
Governor

objections House Bill 382, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1984, and entitled:

An act for the relief of Johnnie Mae Singleton, and her husband,
Sterling F. Singleton; providing an appropriation to compensate
them for injuries and losses caused by the Department of
Transportation; providing an effective date.

The bill provides for the relief of Johnnie Mae Singleton of
Jacksonville for $100,000 from the Department of Transportation
funds for an incident which occurred in 1971 when the claimant
stepped on a manhole cover located in the middle of the sidewalk. The
cover gave way and she fell into the hole, sustaining injuries to her left
arm.

There has been no evidence presented that there is a legitimate
claim against the Department of Transportation from this incident.
This case was not tried by a court or presented to a jury. Also, the
report of the legislative masters in this case did not conclude that the
proximate cause of the injury was the negligence of the Department of
Transportation.

Further, Section 11.065(1), Florida Statutes, states that claims
against the state must be presented within four years after the cause
for relief accrued. As mentioned above, the incident which resulted in
the presentation of this claim occurred 13 years ago.

For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
382, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 3, 1984,
and do hereby veto the same.

June 14, 1984

Dear Mr. Secretary:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I hereby withold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections House Bill 475, enacted by the Eighth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1984, and entitled:
An act relating to insurance; amending s. 627.419, F.S., requiring
chiropractic coverage in certain insurance policies, plans, and
contracts; amending s. 110.123 (5) (a), F.S., relating to payments
to chiropractic physicians under the State Group Insurance
Program Law; providing an effective date.
This bill mandates that all health insurance policies, health care
services plans and other such contracts for the payment of medical
expense benefits or procedures include chiropractic coverage as an
integral part of the benefit structure.
This requirement raises several significant barriers to the attempts
by both public and private sectors in Florida to control rising health
care costs. Mandatory coverage of chiropractic care is likely to increase
overall health care costs, and is certain to increase health insurance
costs for persons who currently have no chiropractic coverage.
The State Group Insurance Plan experience indicates the possible
negative impact of this legislation on health care costs generally.
Under the state insurance program, 10,270 persons have opted for or
automatically receive chiropractic coverage, while 68,590 persons have
no such coverage. Statistics show that, during the 1982-83 fiscal year,
persons in that first group submitted non-chiropractic claims totalling
37 percent less than claims submitted by the second group; yet total
health care claims-chiropractic and non-chiropractic-for the first
group were 53 percent higher.
One effect of this bill would be that much of the cost of chiropractic
coverage would shift to non-users and perhaps to employers, through
increased health insurance premiums. Most cruelly, health insurance
costs would climb for retirees; for example, the increase would be
anywhere from $30 to $125 yearly for state retirees, a group in which
only 395 of more than 7,000 now opt for chiropractic coverage.
Some attempt was made in the legislation to limit claims by
state-covered chiropractic patients. The bill states, somewhat ambi-
guously, that such payments shall be limited to "$400 annually or 28
office visits annually whichever limitation results in the lesser
payment of insurance benefits." The $400 cap is about one-third again
greater than the average state chiropractic payout per person covered
in fiscal year 1982-83. Thus, the estimated additional cost to the state
of such law would be about $3.5 million each year, a reflection of both
probable increased utilization due to increased availability of coverage
and the shifting of costs from employees to the State.
This legislation also interferes unfairly in private business by
requiring every small business owner in Florida who offers insurance
to employees to add chiropractic coverage. Most large group insurance
plans already include this coverage and thus would be unaffected by
the mandate. However, the number of smaller employers who offer
employee pay-all options, as the State does, is unknown. As with the
State, the cost of health insurance benefits would increase for these
small employers, possibly resulting in an overall reduction of health
insurance benefits they provide.
The absence of this legislation from Florida Statutes does not
interfere with an individual's ability to receive chiropractic coverage, if

it is desired. Under present law, a person covered by the health
insurance policies addressed may request and receive chiropractic
coverage, at no cost to the other employees. This bill would result in all
employees under a group plan-whether or not they use chiropractic
services-bearing the cost of coverage.

Finally, health maintenance organizations may be negatively af-
fected by this bill. Chapter 641, Florida Statutes, exempts these
organizations from laws governing the insurance industry and, to my
knowledge, only one HMO in Florida offers chiropractic services.
However, the words in this bill "Notwithstanding any other provision
of law" would appear to subject HMOs to the chiropractic requirement,
thus negatively affecting their cost-containment efforts.

For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
475, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 3, 1984,
and do hereby veto the same.

Sincerely,
BOB GRAHAM
Governor

Rep. Martinez moved that HB 475 (1984 Regular Session) pass, the

advertising a child care facility without including the state or local
license number for the facility. The section also contains a penalty for
violating the prohibition.
The section is directed toward those who operate child care facilities
and want to advertise. The language in no way provides a penalty to
the media for the advertisements it publishes. The burden is on the
child care facility .. where it belongs. We checked the language with
staff of the Judiciary Committee to make certain that the burden was
placed on the person seeking to advertise and not on the printed media
or radio and television broadcasters.

circumstances of the individual case to be a nonunitary business group.
When direct or indirect ownership or control is less than 50 percent of
the outstanding voting stock, all elements of the business activities

shall be considered in determining whether the group qualifies as a

(5)
(c) A taxpayer may make an election, in the manner prescribed by

Pub. L. No. 96-499 and the amendments to those provisions codified in
the Internal Revenue Code, as defined in paragraph (1)(n). Taxpayers

paragraph, in accordance with rules formulated by the department.
Such revocation shall be prospective in nature, and all transactions

provided for in this paragraph is in effect and the continuing tax
ramifications of such events and transactions shall be governed by the
provisions of this paragraph.

the parent company of an affiliated group of corporations may elect,
not later than the due date for filing its return for the taxable year,
including any extensions thereof, to consolidate its taxable income
with that of all other members of the group, regardless of whether such
member is subject to tax under this code, and to return such

the same ratio to the taxpayer's net operating loss, net capital loss, and
excess contributions deductions under ss. 170(d)(2) and 404 of the
Internal Revenue Code, respectively, for the entire taxable year as the
number of days in such year after December 31, 1971, bears to the
total number of days in such year, unless the taxpayer elects to
account separately for income under s. 220.12(3) of this code, in which
case the net operating loss, net capital loss, and excess contributions
deductions under ss. 170(d)(2) and 404 of the Internal Revenue Code,
respectively, allowable for such year shall be determined on the basis
of the items actually earned, received, paid, incurred, or accrued after
December 31, 1971; and
c. A net operating loss and a capital loss shall never be carried back
as a deduction to a prior taxable year, but all deductions attributable
to such losses shall be deemed net operating loss carryovers and capital

Legislative Intent on SB 1-A
Rep. Easley inquired of Rep. Ogden, "In the section relating to
ultimate destination, is it the intent of the amendment to that section
to treat sales by common and contract carriers to out of state
purchasers as non-Florida sales for purposes of the Florida income
tax?" Rep. Ogden responded, "That is correct, Mrs. Easley."
Rep. Dunbar asked, "I would like to call your attention to page 24,
line 5. This relates to the amendment that Mr. Silver and I put on
yesterday and that we have been working with you and your staff on. I
would like just to clarify intent. It begins that sentence which reads,
'Beginning with January first 1985 returns'-I think what we intend
to say at that point, and I would like for you to clarify for me that we
are intending the January the first of 1985 be a starting point. And
that the starting point doesn't have anything to do with returns, it has
to do with the date. In other words, I think there is a missing comma.
But can you confirm for me that it is the intention that it is January
the first as a starting date that we are intending to accomplish?" Rep.
Ogden answered, "Yes, that is absolutely the intent, Mr. Dunbar."
The question recurred on the passage of SB 1-A, as further amended.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

So the bill passed, as amended, by the required Constitutional
three-fifths vote of the membership. The action, together with the bill
and amendments thereto, was immediately certified to the Senate.

Explanation of Vote on SB 1-A

I would vote for the repeal of the unitary tax package except for
what I feel to be unfair restrictions on the small businesses in the
state. I feel that the entire tax package would be better dealt with
during the regular session of the legislature. I am opposed to the
increase in business taxes, especially in light of the federal review and
possible increase in corporate or business taxes across the country in
conjunction with the proposed disallowance for state tax deductions.
Therefore, although I am opposed to the unitary tax, I feel compelled to
vote against the entire tax package because of its potential placement
of an undue tax burden on the small business owner.

Representative James M. Lombard

The Honorable James Harold Thompson, Speaker
I am directed to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate
has admitted for introduction and consideration by the required
Constitutional two-thirds vote and passed SB 13-A and requests the
concurrence of the House.

Joe Brown, Secretary
By Senator Myers-
SB 13-A-A bill to be entitled An act relating to medical practice;
amending s. 474.214, F.S., requiring a licensee to report certain
violations; amending s. 458.303, F.S.; limiting the issuance of medical
faculty certificates; amending s. 458.307, F.S.; permitting medical
college physicians to be members of the board; amending ss. 458.311,
458.313 and 458.319, F.S.; increasing maximum license fees; clarifying
educational requirements for licensure; clarifying examination re-
quirements for licensure by endorsement; relating to graduates of
foreign medical schools; creating s. 458.349, F.S.; defining "medical
assistant"; providing for duties; providing for certification; amending s.
458.347, F.S.; changing exceptions to the requirements for programs
for the education and training of physician's assistants; amending s.
381.494, F.S.; renaming osteopathic facilities; providing an effective
date.

Rep. Lippman moved that SB 13-A be admitted for introduction, the
Speaker having ruled the measure was outside the purview of the Call.
The motion was agreed to by the required Constitutional two-thirds
vote and SB 13-A was read the first time by title. On motions by Rep.
Lippman, the rules were waived and SB 13-A was read the second time
by title and the third time by title. On passage, the vote was:
