Tuesday, April 8, 1986

Journal of the House of Representatives for the 88th Regular Session since statehood in 1845, convened under the
Constitution of 1968, begun and held at the Capitol in the City of Tallahassee in the State of Florida, on Tuesday,
April 8, 1986, being the day fixed by the Constitution for the purpose.

This being the day fixed by the Constitution for the convening of the
Legislature, the Members of the House of Representatives met in the
Chamber at 10:30 a.m. for the beginning of the 88th Regular Session,
and were called to order by the Speaker, the Honorable James Harold
Thompson.

Prayer
Prayer was offered by the Reverend David Henderson, Jacob Chapel
Free Will Baptist Church, Tallahassee:
"O God, who touches earth with beauty, make my heart anew; with
Thy spirit recreate me, pure and strong and true.
"Like Thy springs and running waters make me crystal pure; like
Thy rocks of towering grandeur make me strong and sure.
"Like Thy dancing waves in sunlight make me glad and free; like
Thy straightness of the pine trees let me upright be.
"God, who touches the earth with beauty make my heart anew; keep
me ever, by Thy spirit, pure and strong and true."
O eternal and gracious Father from everlasting to everlasting Thou
art God. Thy wisdom precedes Thy creation and Thy love outruns Thy
wrath. Through all generations Your name has been hallowed as Holy
and Your judgment as merciful. Thou has been our help of ages past
and our hope for years to come.
We come to Thee in praise and heart-filled devotion because to Thee
all praises and glory are due. We come now to Your throne of holiness
from whence all blessings flow. We give thanks in Your name because
Your name blesses our earth and the souls of humankind.
O God look upon us with a pleasing spirit and inspire us to greater
works. We ask now Thy blessings and divine inspiration upon this
legislative body of men and women who have been charged with the
awesome responsibility and duty of making decisions and setting
policies to govern the affairs of this great state. Give us farsight and
insight into Your will for us. Help these who have been chosen by the
people to understand that the least among us are precious in your
sight. May justice and equality serve as the guidepost upon which to
hitch our motives.
We are living in a world of power-extraordinary power in the hands
of ordinary men and women. We are living in a world where reason is
no match for brutality and goodness is at the mercy of power-a world
where storm troopers are lacing up their boots in many lands-a world
where the hopes of many citizens are dashed against the cold and
insensitive realities of hunger, ignorance, discrimination and human
suffering. Heavenly Father, make us compassionate in our dealing
with each other. Sensitize us to each others' needs. Give us the spirit of
Your love as we attend to hard matters that try our compassion and
test our will to be fair. As policies and laws are made, make us ever so
mindful that what we do here will make the difference in the lives of
millions. Therefore, Father, teach us to be good stewards in our
distribution of Your resources to meet human needs.
O Lord, we pray that Thou will grant our humble request. "Let the
words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy
sight, O Lord, my Strength, my Redeemer." Amen.

On March 20, 1985 we certified the need for a total of twenty new
judgeships for FY 1985-86. The Legislature funded thirteen additional
judgeships during the 1985 legislative session, eight circuit court and
five county court. We have received requests for thirty-five new
judgeships for FY 1986-87. Six of the requests for FY 1986-87 are for
recertification of judgeships not authorized in the 1985 session of the
legislature. Four of the judgeships were requested for the second year
of the biennium, in last year's certification.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

FINDINGS
DISTRICT COURTS OF APPEAL

In 1979, the Appellate Structure Commission recommended a
standard of no more than 250 primary assignment cases for each
appellate judge. On February 23, 1984 this court adopted that standard
as part of the certification criteria and procedures of Florida Rule of
Judicial Administration 2.035, acknowledging that an appellate judge
should not be required to handle more than 250 primary case
assignments per year. The 250 primary case assignments per judge
standard was reaffirmed by the Courts Restructure Commission in its
report of February 1, 1986.
In reality, each judge's case load would be three times the number of
primary cases because district courts sit in panels of three, and each
judge has two secondary case assignments for each primary assign-
ment. All of the district courts presently exceed this standard. In order
to ensure the integrity of the appellate process, this excessive case load
should be reduced, to the 250 case per judge standard.
Florida's district courts experienced a general leveling off in filings
in 1983 and 1984. However, in 1985 all five courts realized increased
filing levels. Projections for 1986 forecast 1,207 more filings than in
1985. Florida's district courts of appeal have consistently ranked high
among the country's intermediate appellate courts in filings per judge
and number of published opinions.
The judges of the district courts of appeal have worked diligently to
keep abreast of case loads in excess of the recommended standard, in
spite of the fact that no new judgeships have been authorized for the
district courts of appeal since 1982. Further, the courts have endea-
vored to improve the manner in which cases are managed and employ
procedural innovations to improve efficiency, such as placing selected
cases on a fast track and reducing briefing requirements. The district
courts of appeal have also begun implementation of office automation
systems to speed word processing tasks, improve case management and
enhance legal research.
Notwithstanding these efforts, additional judges are required. Ac-
cordingly, we certify the need for five new district court of appeal
judgeships in FY 1986-87. The authorization of these judicial positions
is requested as the first phase of a two year effort to bring the number
of primary case assignments down to 250 per judge, for the affected
courts.
We also encourage continued funding for the office automation
systems in all five district courts. These resources, when collectively
employed, will enable Florida's district courts of appeal to better
manage what is clearly one of the largest case loads in the country.
First Appellate District. The First District, which currently has
twelve judges, requests one additional judge for FY 1986-87. To
achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard in 1986, the First
District would need one additional judge. While filings in the First
District leveled off from 1982-84, they increased in 1985. An increase
of approximately 175 additional filings is forecast for 1986. Motions
practice before this court has increased, with twenty-five to thirty
motions being filed each workday. Workers' compensation cases
handled by the court are extremely complicated. Moreover, the
statutory law applicable to such cases is constantly changing, thereby
requiring research and related work that is not necessary in the other
district courts. Similarly, the many administrative appeals, filed with
the First District because of its location in the state capital, are quite
time consuming. Judges and law clerks must be conversant with
Chapter 120, as well as the statutes and rules that govern or affect the
many agencies covered by that chapter. Accordingly, we are certifying
the need for one judgeship for FY 1986-87.
Additionally, the First District Court of Appeal has undertaken a
major office automation project that will enhance its word processing,
case management and legal research capabilities. The systems being
developed serve as prototypes and are being adapted for the other four
district courts of appeal. Therefore, we ask the continued support of the
Legislature for this effort on all five district courts.
Second Appellate District. The Second District currently has ten
judges, and the need for one additional judge was certified in 1985. In
order to meet the 250 primary case assignment standard in 1986, the
Second District Court of Appeal would require two additional judges.

We certify the need for one additional judgeship for FY 1986-87.
The court had 283 filings per judge and produced 259 dispositions

per judge in 1984. Filings increased to 299 per judge in 1985 while
dispositions jumped to 287 per judge. We find these factors plus an
increase in total filings of 365 cases, from 1983 to 1985, to justify the
need for the one additional judgeship.
Fourth Appellate District. The Fourth District has nine judges, and
we certify the need for two additional judges in FY 1986-87.
The court had 307 filings per judge and produced 318 dispositions
per judge in 1984. These figures increased to 322 filings and 327
dispositions per judge in 1985. The Fourth District continues to have
the largest number of pending cases of the five district courts of appeal.
The developing backlog is a function of an unusually high percentage
of civil cases, which are generally more complex. Many involve appeals
from trial court judgments in cases classified as complex litigation.
This has resulted in the Court granting oral argument in fewer cases
and disposing of a high percentage of cases without opinion.
In order to fully achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard
in 1986, three additional judges would be required in the Fourth
District. At this time, however, we certify the need for only two
additional judges.
Fifth Appellate District. The Fifth District has had six judges since
its creation in 1979. We certify the need for one additional judge in FY
1986-87. This is a recertification of a need that has existed for the past
three years.
The Fifth District continues to have the highest ratio of population
per judge of any district and a high attorney per judge ratio. Filings
have increased every year since the Fifth District's creation. In 1985
the Court had 447 more filings than in 1980, at which time the Fifth
District's primary case assignments were at the 250 per judge level.
Projections show a continued growth trend, including an additional
161 filings in 1986, over the 1985 total. The court had 325 filings per
judge and produced 354 dispositions per judge in 1985. This ranked it
highest in filings per judge and second in dispositions per judge.
In order to fully achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard
in 1986, two additional judgeships would be required, but we certify
only one at this time.

CIRCUIT AND COUNTY COURTS

At the trial court level, case filing statistics are not as significant in
relation to other criteria and factors as they are at the appellate level.
Geographic size, attorneys per judge, the presence of nonlawyer county
judges, the extent to which county judges are utilized in circuit court,
the location of state institutions within the circuit, the availability and
use of retired judges and masters, resident and transient population,
population at risk', law enforcement activities, and case complexity
are all considered in evaluating the need for additional trial court
judgeships. See Rule of Judicial Administration 2.035(b). Thus, while a
standard of not more than 250 primary case assignments has been
developed for the district courts, no similar standard can be applied at
the trial court level. A caseload standard at the trial level that ignores
variations among the circuits would not be a correct measure of the
need for additional judges.
Caseload information on the trial courts, available at the state level,
is derived through the Summary Reporting System (SRS), which was
implemented in 1977. The clerks of the circuit courts provide monthly
tabulations of case filing and disposition statistics to the State Courts
Administrator's Office. While regular reviews of up to one third of the
counties annually indicate substantial compliance by the clerks with
reporting guidelines, it is recognized that improved measures of
judicial workload are needed. Several steps have been taken in this
regard. The Summary Reporting System has been redesigned based on
almost two years of work by the Court Statistics and Workload
Committee. Changes, effective January 1, 1986, include: refinements
in data definitions, to eliminate ambiguity in reporting requirements;
modification of reporting categories to more accurately reflect judicial
workload; and establishment of audit trails to ensure uniformity in
reporting. The application of the delphi technique to measure varia-
tions in the complexity of cases disposed of by the different circuit

The delphi information was updated and considered during this year's
certification process as well. Finally, the clerks of court have begun
filing quarterly reports on pending caseloads in all circuit courts. The
initial report, reflecting pending case status as of December 31, 1985,
was also considered by the Court in formulating this year's certifica-
tion. The foregoing changes yielded improved data for use in deter-
mining the need for new judgeships.
In addition to case related data, the process of certifying the need for
new circuit and county judges has included an assessment of steps
Florida's trial judiciary has taken to improve the operation of their
courts. There has been a strong response to the time standards that
were issued by administrative order of Chief Justice Boyd in April of
1985, at both the circuit and county levels. Judges across the state
reviewed and disposed of large numbers of cases that had been pending
without activity for long periods of time. Other older cases were set for
trial and expedited to prompt conclusion. While the existence of the
time standards has increased the pressure on the trial and appellate
judiciary, the timely disposition of cases is deemed essential to the
effective administration of justice.
The trial courts have responded to workload pressures in other ways.
Dispute resolution alternatives are employed in most courts for
selected types of cases. Citizen dispute settlement, juvenile arbitration,
mediation and conciliation in family cases, small claims mediation,
landlord and tenant mediation and general or special masters, are all
relied upon more heavily. Procedural innovations such as the use of
uniform motions calendars, improved judicial control of cases, stricter
continuance policies, and regular reviews of pending cases, have been
used extensively. Virtually all of Florida's circuit courts and most
county courts have established routine backup procedures where
judges, whose calendars may cancel due to settlements or pleas, are
reassigned to assist other judges with hearings or trial dockets. Many
judges' calendars include blocks of time allocated specifically for the
hearing of child support and domestic violence matters that must be
expedited. In sum, Florida's trial judiciary is identifying and effective-
ly employing alternatives to the establishment of new judgeships in
many areas of the state.
In spite of such programmatic and procedural innovations, there
remains a need for twenty-four new judgeships at the trial level. A
number of factors have contributed to increased caseloads in Florida's
trial courts, which can only be remedied by the authorization of
additional judgeships. Two statutes passed by the 1984 Legislature
have continued to result in increased judicial workload. The domestic
violence and child support enforcement statutes, while they reflect
critically needed changes in Florida law, have significantly increased
hearing time. Florida's DUI law also continues to result in increased
trials. Judges report that DUI and other trials are becoming longer,
largely as a function of increased motions practice and increased
numbers of attorneys in most jurisdictions. Finally, the increase in
crime rates experienced in many jurisdictions has contributed to a
significant increase in criminal filings and related trial activity during
the later part of 1985.
Statewide, circuit filings increased by 9.1% from 1984 to 1985. The
increases in circuit criminal and civil filings were 7.5% and 12.2%
respectively. County filings, excluding civil traffic infractions, in-
creased 3.5%. County criminal and civil filings increased 8% and 12%
respectively. Many courts carried large case inventories into the 1986
calendar year, notwithstanding diligent efforts to dispose of older cases
on their dockets.
The primary considerations prompting our certification of need for
the respective judicial circuits are as follows:
First Judicial Circuit (Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton
Counties). There are currently fifteen circuit and nine county court
judges in the First Circuit. We certify the need for one additional
circuit judgeship for FY 1986-87.
The last circuit judgeship was added to this Court in 1982. Since that
time, there has been a steady increase in filings, with a 40.2% increase
since 1983. The First Circuit ranks tenth in filings per judge.
The Court has refrained from requesting additional judgeships for

each of the last two years, preferring instead to address workload
increases through the assignment of retired judges. A total of 183
retired judge days were paid in FY 1984-85. The First Circuit reported
a total of 111.4 days of county judge time in circuit court in FY
1984-85. However, the use of county judges at the circuit level is

EI

OF REPRESENTATIVES April 8, 1986

limited by the fact there are two nonlawyer judges, in Escambia and
Santa Rosa Counties.
Caseload increases have also been addressed via the establishment
of alternative dispute resolution programs. In excess of 400 cases were
handled via citizen dispute settlement, family mediation and juvenile
arbitration, during 1985. Close to 5,800 cases were handled through a
very effective worthless check program. Nonetheless, increases in
caseloads in Santa Rosa and Walton Counties, caseload increases at
the circuit level, a reduction in the number of available retired judges
and the impact of a large transient/tourist population warrant the
establishment of an additional judgeship for this circuit.
Second Judicial Circuit (Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty
and Wakulla Counties). There are currently nine circuit and eight
county judges in the Second Circuit. We certify the need for one
additional circuit judge in FY 1986-87.
The last new circuit judgeship for this court was established in 1984.
Total filings have increased 12.7% since 1983. While the Second
Circuit is ranked sixteenth in filings per judge and nineteenth in jury
trials per judge, it has had an inordinate number of capital and other
serious felony cases. Only six circuits report higher criminal pending
caseloads than this circuit. The Second Circuit was also ranked
seventh in total pending cases per judge, at the end of 1985. Finally,
the Second Circuit reports significant increases in law enforcement
personnel, as well as the staff of the offices of the public defender and
state attorney. The fact that Leon County includes the state capitol
adds a large number of actions involving state government to the
Court's workload. Similarly, a large student population of approxi-
mately 25,000 is not reflected in general population statistics. An
exceptional amount of judicial time is consumed by travel since the
circuit consists of six counties. Caseload increases in the outlying
counties, particularly Gadsden County, have required the commitment
of additional judge time.
Third Judicial Circuit (Columbia, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette,
Madison, and Taylor Counties). There are currently four circuit and six
county judges in the Third Circuit. We certify the need for one
additional circuit judge for FY 1986-87.
This circuit is ranked first in jury trials per judge. The six counties
in the circuit also cover a large geographical area. Over 40,000 travel
miles were logged in 1984 by the circuit judges serving the six county
area. The Court reports a large number of complex products liability
cases involving agricultural products.
The last new judgeship for this circuit was authorized in 1976. There
are no resident retired judges in the Third Circuit. Thus, county judges
have been called upon to assist at the circuit level. A total of 123.8
days were paid in FY 1984-85.
Fourth Judicial Circuit (Clay, Duval and Nassau Counties). There
are currently twenty-five circuit and fourteen county court judges in
the Fourth Circuit. The need for one additional circuit judgeship was
certified in each of the last three years, and a new circuit judge was
authorized in 1985. The Fourth Circuit had originally requested a new
circuit judgeship in both years of the biennium. We certify the need for
an additional circuit judge for FY 1986-87, as requested.
The circuit judgeship added last year was the first since 1980. One
county court judge is a nonlawyer and, therefore, cannot assist in
circuit jurisdiction. The Fourth Circuit has realized an 18.6 percent
increase in filings since 1983. Circuit filings have increased siginifi-
cantly in the outlying counties, Clay County in particular. The one
new judgeship authorized last year will not be sufficient to allow the
Court to keep pace with the rate of growth. The Fourth Circuit is
ranked seventh in weighted dispositions per judge.
The Court has also been heavily reliant on the assistance of retired
judges and has handled over 7,000 cases via alternative dispute
resolution and diversion programs.
Fifth Judicial Circuit (Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Marion and Sumter
Counties). The Fifth Circuit currently has eleven circuit and seven
county court judges. We certify the need for an additional circuit judge
and an additional county judge for Marion County.
In spite of having received a new circuit judge in 1984, the Fifth

Circuit is ranked fifth in the ratio of filings per judge and fourth in
dispositions per judge. It is ranked second in the ratio of population per
judge and is projected to experience a high rate of growth in population
through 1990, retaining that number two ranking. Three of its seven
county court judges cannot assist on the circuit bench, as they are

JOURNAL OF THE HOUM

nonlawyer judges. No retired judges reside in the Fifth Circuit.
Additionally, the circuit covers a geographic area of 4,160 square miles
and has five state correctional institutions located within its boun-
daries. Cross assignment of one judge to help another, when his or her
calendar clears, is often difficult because of distance.
Finally, the criminal caseload of the Fifth Circuit has increased
dramatically. The States Attorney reports that 56% more informations,
involving a 39% increase in counts and 50% more defendants, were
filed during the first eleven months of 1985, over the same period in
1984.
No new county judges have been authorized for Marion County since
1973. Caseloads have increased to levels which rank Marion County
second in filings per judge and ninth in dispositions per judge. A 45.9%
increase in filings since 1984 and a 52.8% increase since 1983 have
made the addition of a third county judge a necessity.
Sixth Judicial Circuit (Pasco and Pinellas Counties). The Sixth
Circuit currently has thirty circuit and fourteen county court judges,
three of whom are in Pasco County. The need for one additional county
court judge for Pinellas County was certified in 1984 and 1985. No
county judgeships were authorized in either year. We certify the need
for two county judgeships in FY 1986-87. In addition, we certify the
need for two circuit judges in FY 1986-87.
In 1985, Pinellas County ranked fifth in county court filings per
judge and fourth in dispositions per judge. The county continues to
realize tremendous growth and is ranked eighth in population per
judge. Pinellas County has moved up in the rankings in all three of the
foregoing categories since last year. The county court operates in
multiple locations. Travel between these locations has become increas-
ingly time consuming, making the sharing of judicial resources
difficult. The last new county court judgeship was created in Pinellas
County in 1979, and that is the only new county judgeship that has
been created for that Court since 1976. In the last three years alone,
filings in Pinellas County have increased approximately 13%. The
majority of that increase occurred between 1984 and 1985 when filings
increased by 4,976 cases.
Filings at the circuit level increased 14% since 1984 and 20.7% since
1983. The Sixth Circuit ranked second in weighted dispositions per
judge indicating a more complex mix of cases. The 1986 projections
suggest a further increase in filings, leaving filings per judge in excess
of 1,800 cases. Our certification of need for two additional circuit
judges is also based on the high ratio of population per judge, projected
population growth, and geographic considerations relating to travel
time within the circuit (in view of the five primary and two satellite
courthouses).
Because of the increases in Pinellas County court filings and a high
ratio of jury trials per judge, the county judges are not readily
available to assist with circuit court cases. The circuit court was
required to utilize one hundred seventy-three retired judge days in
1985. The Sixth Circuit has also made a strong effort to employ citizen
dispute settlement, juvenile mediation-arbitration and family media-
tion, to supplement and reduce the case load burden of judges. In
excess of 4,000 cases were handled through these programs in 1985.
Masters heard in excess of 1,100 cases in 1985.
Seventh Judicial Circuit (Volusia, St. Johns, Flagler, and Putnam
Counties). The Seventh Judicial Circuit currently has fourteen circuit
and eleven county judgeships. We certify the need for one additional
circuit judgeship in FY 1986-87.
The Seventh Circuit ranks fourth among the twenty circuits in
filings per judge and ninth in dispositions per judge. As of December
31, 1985, this circuit had the third highest pending caseload per judge
at 1,344 cases. Overall, filings increased 12.5% from 1984 to 1985 and
by 19.6% since 1983.
The Seventh Circuit has also realized tremendous population growth
and has a large tourist/transient population, as well. Geographical
constraints exist in that the chief judge has to allocate judicial
resources over a large four county area. At the same time, the
assignment of more judges has been necessary in the Deltona area.
Eighth Judicial Circuit (Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Gilchrist, Levy,
and Union Counties). The Eighth Circuit currently has nine circuit
and nine county court judges. We certify the need for one additional

county judge for Alachua County.
Alachua County has experienced a 13.7 percent increase in filings
since 1983. An increase of more than 2,800 new filings occurred

April 8, 1986

increase in filings since 1983, leaving it ranked third among the
twenty circuits. The Twelfth Circuit is ranked sixth in dispositions per
judge. It is sixth in pending cases per judge, as of December 31, 1985.
The circuit court required 138 retired judge days in FY 1984-85. In
excess of 100 county judge days were paid during the same fiscal year.

SE OF REPRESENTATIVES 5

between 1984 and 1985, leaving the county ranked fourteenth among
the 67 counties. Alachua County ranked third in dispositions per
judge. However, because county court judges who are eligible to assist
with circuit cases are used regularly for that purpose, judicial
resources in the county court have been reduced. A total of 368 partial
or full days of county judge time was committed in that regard. The
eight state correctional institutions located in the circuit contribute
additional workload. Similarly, the Gainesville area has an annual
college population of 41,000 students, not reflected in general popula-
tion statistics. Finally, the geography of the circuit, which is 100 miles
long and 50 miles wide make the allocation of judicial resources more
difficult. The last new county judgeship was authorized ten years ago.
Ninth Judicial Circuit (Orange and Osceola Counties). The Ninth
Circuit currently has twenty circuit and thirteen county court judges.
One additional circuit judgeship and one county judgeship were
certified and authorized last year. However, we certify the need for an
additional circuit judgeship in FY 1986-87.
The 1985 filings in circuit court increased 11% over 1984 and 18.2%
over 1983. The Ninth Circuit was ranked fifth in jury trials per judge
and reports that jury trials cannot be set earlier than five to six
months in advance.
There has been a significant growth in population in the Ninth
Circuit since 1975, and that trend is expected to continue. The circuit
also has a large transient and tourist population and is ranked sixth in
population at risk. The Ninth Circuit ranks fourth in ratio of attorneys
per judge. Three hundred twelve retired judge days were required in
the circuit in 1985, and 141 days of additional compensation were paid
county judges for circuit work. The Ninth Circuit reported that use of
county judges in circuit court exceeded 200 days. In excess of 1,000
cases were handled through alternative dispute resolution programs in
1985.
Eleventh Judicial Circuit (Dade County). The Eleventh Circuit
currently has fifty-nine circuit and thirty-four county court judges.
One circuit judgeship and two county judgeships were certified last
year, and one new judge was authorized at each level. We recertify the
need for one additional county court judgeship in FY 1986-87.
Dade County ranks second in the state in ratio of attorneys per
judge. It continues to have a high tourist and transient population. In
addition, Dade County is first among the sixty-seven counties in
population at risk, which contributes to the high criminal caseload in
that county, in both circuit and county court. A large spanish speaking
population, has required the court to employ a large staff of
interpreters. In excess of 64,000 translations were made in 1984. The
use of interpreters has the effect of almost doubling hearing or trial
time, when they are necessary.

Total filings in county court have increased by 6.8% or 15,208 cases
since 1983, leaving Dade County ranked sixth in filings per judge and
first in dispositions per judge. Continued increases in the number of
sworn law enforcement personnel in the county have resulted in
increases in criminal filings, at both the circuit and county court level.
County court judges have been assisting on the circuit bench,
thereby increasing the workload pressures at the county level. A total
of four hundred sixty-nine days of additional compensation were paid
county judges for circuit work in FY 1984-85. With high county court
case loads, county judges must now attend to their own dockets.
Notwithstanding the extensive use of citizen dispute settlement and
other dispute resolution alternatives, there is a need for one new
county judgeship.
Twelfth Judicial Circuit. (DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota Counties).
The Twelfth Circuit currently has eleven circuit and seven county
court judges, with four county court judges in Sarasota County, two in
Manatee and one in DeSoto.The need for an additional county court
judgeship for Manatee County was certified last year, for the second
year of the biennium. However, due to a slight decline in filings from
1984 to 1985, and an increased workload at the circuit level, we certify
the need for an additional circuit judgeship in FY 1986-87.
The last circuit judgeship for the Twelfth Circuit was added in 1982.
Filings have increased steadily. The Court has realized a 15.9%

6 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

A high rate of population growth is forecast for the three counties in
the Twelfth Judicial Circuit. It is currently ranked fourth among the
twenty circuits and is forecast to retain that rank through 1990. The
Twelfth Circuit ranks sixth in attorneys per judge.
Thirteenth Judicial Circuit (Hillsborough County). The Thirteenth
Circuit has twenty-five circuit and eleven county judges. Five addi-
tional circuit judges have been requested. We certify the need for three
circuit judges for FY 1986-87.
The Thirteenth Circuit is ranked seventh in both filings and
dispositions per judge. It is ranked fifth among the circuits in pending
cases per judge, reported as of December 31, 1985. Total filings are
expected to grow by an additional 4% in 1986. The court has
experienced a 7.2% increase in filings since 1983 and a 10.6% increase
in total jury trials. This has resulted in a 16.7% increase in jury trials
per judge.
The Thirteenth Circuit has realized a doubling of jury trial activity
during the last half of 1985. The greatest problems exist in the
criminal division of the court. Hillsborough County is faced with a jail
cap, and the judges in the criminal division have the highest pending
caseload reported for any of the twenty judicial circuits at 4,206 cases
per judge. Of the seven large urban courts in Florida, the Thirteenth
Circuit is estimated to have the highest filings per judge ratio, in its
criminal division. The Thirteenth Circuit ranks fourth among the
twenty circuits in population at risk, which is indicative of criminal
activity. Hillsborough County ranks third in index crimes reported in
1985. It reports that fewer negotiated pleas are being accepted by the
prosecutor and more cases are being taken to trial. At the same time,
the court has experienced a 19.1% increase in law enforcement
personnel from 1982 to 1985. The court ranks third in weighted
dispositions per judge.
Both county and retired judges have been committed to assist at the
circuit level. A total of 189 retired judge days were paid in FY 1984-85.
A temporary sixth criminal division has been created utilizing a
retired judge during the current fiscal year. Additionally, fifty-six days
of county judge time were paid in FY 1984-85.
The use of dispute resolution alternatives has been expanded in the
Thirteenth Circuit. Programs include family mediation, worthless
checks, juvenile arbitration, citizen dispute settlement and court
commissioners. In excess of 10,000 cases were reported to have been
handled by these programs in 1985.
Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (Palm Beach County). The Fifteenth
Circuit currently has twenty-three circuit and twelve county court
judges. A circuit judge and a county judge were added in each of the
last two years. We certify the need for one additional circuit judgeship
and one additional county judgeship for FY 1986-87.
In spite of the authorization of new judges in the last two years, the
rate of increase in filings has outstripped the court's ability to keep
pace with the overall caseload. Filings increased 14.5% from 1984 to
1985 and 26.1% from 1983 to 1985. Filings per judge have increased
from 1,599 in 1983 to 1,924 in 1985, notwithstanding the additional
judges. Based on projected 1986 filings, the filings per judge ratio for
the Fifteenth Circuit will remain above 1,900 cases. While the
Fifteenth Circuit ranked twelfth in dispositions per judge, it ranked
fifth in weighted dispositions per judge. This circuit was ranked fourth
in pending cases per judge as of December 31, 1985. The addition of a
judge in January 1986 would still leave the Fifteenth Circuit ranked
fifth in that category.
The Fifteenth Circuit reports that additional manpower is needed in
the civil division. Trials can be set no earlier than four to seven
months in advance. The court reports that a backlog is developing in
the criminal division, as well.
Continuing increases in filings are an effect of the general growth of
the Fifteenth Circuit. It is ranked eighth in population per judge and
seventh in population at risk. The population is projected to grow at a
continued high rate through 1990 and the year 2000. The Fifteenth
Circuit ranks third in attorneys per judge.
Substantial supplemental judicial resources have been committed to

the Fifteenth Circuit. There were 258 retired judge days paid in FY
1984-85. Additionally, 104 county judge days were paid in the same
fiscal year. Judicial resources are supplemented by alternative dispute
resolution programs including domestic mediation, a juvenile alterna-
tive services project, volunteer mediation and domestic relations

E

OF REPRESENTATIVES April 8, 1986

commissioners. The court also uses special masters in complex
cases.
Palm Beach County is ranked third in filings per judge and second in
dispositions per judge, among the 67 counties. Despite a slight drop in
total jury trials, this county remains ranked fifteenth in jury trials per
judge. It ranks fourth in attorneys per judge.
Eighteenth Judicial Circuit (Brevard and Seminole Counties). The
Eighteenth Circuit currently has fourteen circuit and nine county
court judges. We certify the need for one additional county judge in
Brevard County and one additional circuit judge in FY 1986-87.
At ninth, Brevard County ranked relatively high in 1985 county
court filings per judge. It ranked ninth in jury trials per judge.
Geographical factors are significant in this certification in that the
court operates out of three locations. It is difficult and time consuming
for judges to travel between those locations. County judges have not
generally been available to assist in circuit court. Two hundred retired
judge days were paid in FY 1984-85, yet only three and one-half days
of additional compensation for county judges were paid in that same
year. A 1984 study of workload distribution for the county court,
conducted by the Office of the State Courts Administrator, suggested
the need for an additional judge to be assigned to the central portion of
the county.
The Eighteenth Circuit, while realizing a slight decline in the
number of circuit jury trials over the past three years, is still ranked
second in jury trials per judge. It ranks sixth in filings per judge and
eighth in dispositions per judge. Total filings increased 15% from 1984
to 1985 and 31.1% since 1983. Filings per judge increased from 1,491
in 1983 to 1,955 in 1985. It ranks fifth in population per judge. The
same geographical factors that inhibit the sharing of workload in the
county court affect the circuit court. Case scheduling is complicated at
both levels, since attorneys may have cases pending on the dockets of
judges at multiple locations. These factors, coupled with the require-
ment for two hundred retired judge days in FY 1984-85, support the
Court's request for an additional circuit judge.
Nineteenth Judicial Circuit (Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, and
St. Lucie Counties). The Nineteenth Circuit currently has nine circuit
and seven county court judgeships. The need for one additional circuit
judgeship was certified in each of the past three years, and a new
judgeship was authorized in 1985. We certify the need for one
additional circuit judgeship in FY 1986-87.
The Nineteenth Circuit ranked second in filings per judge and first
in dispositions per judge in 1985. It ranked first in pending cases per
judge as of December 31, 1985. It has realized a significant population
increase, which is expected to continue, and ranks sixth in population
per judge. Due to the size of the circuit (2,423 square miles), travel
time is considerable.
The circuit has been heavily reliant on county judges to assist in
handling circuit cases. Three hundred two days of additional compen-
sation were paid to county judges in FY 1984-85. Also, 126 retired
judge days were required in the circuit, during the last fiscal year.
Some of the workload problems facing judges in the Nineteenth Circuit
are attributable to the increasing complexity of drug related cases and
an increase in motions practice. This circuit also includes within its
boundaries, four state institutions which house in excess of 1,700
inmates.
Twentieth Judicial Circuit (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and
Lee Counties). The Twentieth Circuit currently has twelve circuit and
nine county court judges. The need for one additional circuit judgeship
is certified in the second year of the biennium, as it was last year.
The Twentieth Circuit ranks third in population per judge, and is
projected to be ranked first by 1990. It is ranked fourth in the ratio of
jury trials per judge. It ranks fifth in the combined factors of filings,
dispositions, trials, population and attorneys per judge. It ranks
relatively high in filings per judge, at ninth. Total filings have
increased 19.3% since 1983.
Two of the county court judges in the Twentieth Circuit are
nonlawyers and cannot assist on the circuit bench. The circuit covers a

large geographic area. This has made it more difficult for judges in one
location to backup those in another. The circuit court has been reliant
on county judges, paying eighty-four days of additional compensation
in FY 1984-85. Thirty-seven retired judge days were used in the circuit
in that fiscal year.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

"CERTIFICATION

Accordingly, pursuant to article V, section 9, Florida Constitution,
we certify the need for five additional district court of appeal
judgeships, seventeen additional circuit court judgeships, and seven
additional county court judgeships for fiscal year 1986-87. These
judicial officers are necessary for the proper administration of justice,
and we recommend they be made permanent and funded by the state.
These new judgeships should become effective August 1, 1986.

ADKINS, J, concurring specially.
Under the present system of case counting, this certification is the
best the Court can do. In the past many additional judges were
authorized in June but not allowed to take office until January. This
dispels any idea of immediate need.
There are 194 judges of the county court who have been members of
The Florida Bar for five years or more and are eligible to sit as circuit
judges. The chief judges of several circuits have assigned these county
court judges to the circuit bench for various periods of time. When the
county court judge assumes the duties of a circuit judge, he is compen-
sated for performing these additional duties so that, during the time he
sits as a circuit judge, he receives the same salary as a circuit judge.
We should propose that the judges of the county court who have been
members of The Florida Bar for more than five years receive the same
compensation as circuit judges. This Court, by special order or rule,
could authorize all of these county court judges to assume the duties of
circuit judges without the necessity of any particular assignment. Also,
these judges should be subject to assignment to other circuits, so that
such a county court judge in a small county with a small docket could
be used any place in the state of Florida under the rules of assignments
for circuit judges. This system would reduce the need for additional
judges in many of the circuits and would follow the idea of pooling
judges for service.
The constitution authorizes the chief justice of the supreme court to
assign "judges" to temporary duty in any court "for which the judge is
qualified", and the chief judge can assign "judges" for duty within his
circuit. Art. V, 2(b), Fla. Const. There is no constitutional impedi-
ment to using these 194 judges as circuit judges in any county of the
state.
The present system of case-counting is ineffective unless we develop
a weighted caseload system; that is, in counting cases the more
complicated ones should be given more weight than the minor ones.
The bare number of cases means nothing insofar as comparing the
workload of the various circuits. We have been unable to develop a
weighted case load system that is accurate and workable.
Although various committees have worked diligently attempting to
have a uniform method of reporting, we have not yet met with
complete success. In view of the demands of the chief justice and the
"provisions of a proposed rule relating to time frames within which
cases should be disposed of, I believe we should honor the requests of
all of the chief judges. These chief judges know the needs of the
individual circuit and I respect their credibility and dedication. Their
determination of the need for judges is more accurate than the result of
our statistical survey.
Prior to the revision of article V, Florida Constitution, the need for
circuit judges was determined by a formula of one judge for every
50,000 in population or major fraction thereof. The revision substan-
tially enlarged the jurisdiction of the circuit court and the population
criteria could no longer be used. The legislature decided that the need
for judges should be determined by counting cases. This method is
eroding into political selections throughout the state.
We are now able to analyze the caseload of each circuit and
determine what population requires an additional circuit judge. In my

opinion a circuit judge for each 27,000 population would be sufficient to
handle the case load of a circuit, and one judge of the county court for

each 50,000 population would be sufficient to handle the case load of a
county. If population were used as a criteria, then the money expended
in collecting statewide statistics could be used in financing additional
judgeships.
It has been almost fifteen years since article V, Constitution of
Florida, was revised. The original concept of the revision was to create
a "pool of judges". Each judge would be subject to assignment in any
part of the state. The concept of "pooling judges" can not be realized
until we treat all judges who have been members of The Florida Bar
for five years the same way.
It is now time to make an evaluation of our progress under this
constitutional revision and determine whether the present method of
selecting additional judges follows the intent of the original framers of
article V, Florida Constitution.

The Joint Session pledged allegiance to the Flag, led by the
President.

Committee to the Governor
On motion by Rep. Morgan, the President appointed Senators Fox,
Kirkpatrick, and Langley, and on behalf of the Speaker, appointed
Representatives Ward, Dunbar, and Burke as a joint committee to
notify the Governor that the Legislature had assembled to receive his
message. The committee retired to execute its responsibility and

Presentation of Guests
The President presented Mrs. Adele Graham, wife of the Governor,
with daughters Kendall, Suzanne and Cissy; and Mrs. Margie Mixson,
wife of the Lieutenant Governor, who were seated in the gallery.

Presentation of Governor
President Johnston presented Governor Graham with the following
remarks:
Governor Graham, Lieutenant Governor Mixson, Members of the
Supreme Court and in particular my former colleague in Palm Beach
County, Justice Barkett, and Members of the Cabinet, Honorable
Members of the House and my Senate colleagues, and visitors in the
gallery.
Today, as on every opening day, we know that some of the most
probing eyes of Florida are upon us-that they scrutinize our every
action and that they measure us against the toughest standards.
I refer, of course, to Allen Morris.
Will he find this legislative session worth mentioning in the Florida
Handbook? Will we set notable precedents? Will our finest moments
make it into his memoirs?
Dr. Morris, our fate is in your hands ...
It is the historian's task to distill months into minutes-to reduce an
era or an event or a lifetime into paragraphs.
How then will the writers of history remember the man that we are
gathered to hear?
How will history books treat Florida's thirty-eighth Governor?
They could say that he is probably the only Governor in this nation's
history to appear in Newsweek in his underwear.
Or they could wonder how he could repeatedly be on the best-dressed
list, despite the sorry fact that this man-this public figure, this
multimillionaire-owns only one necktie.
They could reflect on his Don Johnson flirtation, his Prince
imitation, or his Jimmy Buffet fixation.
Unfortunately, on a more serious note, historians may be almost
that glib in their search for a quick paragraph to describe Bob
Graham.
But I hope they will resist the temptation to sum up his career by
concentrating only on work days and the death penalty.
Because the legacy of Bob Graham will not be a few simple lines in
textbooks. We live his legacy everyday. And long after he has moved
on, Florida will be a better place for his years in Tallahassee.
Every time we hike in the Everglades, every time we pull a fish out
of the Apalachicola, we are celebrating Bob Graham's environmental
legacy.
Every time a clean industry sets up shop in Florida, whether it is a
software company or a film crew, we benefit from Bob Graham's

economic legacy.
Every child starting kindergarten this fall has a better chance of
staying in school and graduating to a good job, thanks to Bob Graham's
education legacy.

OF REPRESENTATIVES April 8, 1986

Every state worker with access to day care, every retiree whose life
depends on Meals on Wheels, every disabled person with a job, shares
in Bob Graham's legacy of human compassion.
I am proud to have served with this man in the Senate. I feel
fortunate to live in a state that he has governed so well. I feel confident
that history will remember him as a great governor. I am happy to
introduce to you, for his eighth State of the State Address-The
Governor of the State of Florida-Bob Graham.

Governor's Address
The Governor addressed the Joint Session as follows:
Thank you very much Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the
Florida House of Representatives, Members of the Florida State
Senate, Judges, Members who I have had the privilege of serving with
from the Florida Cabinet, my great friend and Lieutenant Governor,
Wayne Mixson, families, and the family of Florida, I thank you very
much for the warmth of your welcome. I will accept that for my arrival
and not for the proximity of my departure.
I welcome all of you who have returned to Tallahassee for another
festive, constructive legislative session. Most of you have come by
conventional means. I wish to thank Bob and Reubin for having
delivered Senator Mann safely and with sores.
This is a time of celebration and for some of us will be a time of
nostalgia as we look forward to these remaining exciting days that we
can share together. As the President has said, there is much that we
can be proud of as Floridians.
No state in the United States has undergone a transformation such
as ours. Together, we 12 million Floridians can take pride in our
progress.
Representative Martin and other Floridians recognize that we've
made an investment in the realization of our important goals.
And our investments over these last seven years have been both
visionary and fiscally prudent.
Florida taxes are among the lowest in the country-we're 47th.
We've grown from a small state to a very influential state.
We've changed our major commodities from land and water-to
people.
We've expanded a narrow economy to the most prosperous economy
in the South-one of the most prosperous in America.
We have turned our vision from the past to the future with a State
Plan which identifies the areas for investment-a chartered course to
guide our growth and to bring Florida to the 21st century.
We've changed our attitude about Florida. It wasn't too many years
ago that Florida's resources were seen as commodities to be exploited.
Today we recognize Florida as a great trust-our generation's trust,
into which we must make an investment.
We have been willing to make prudent, responsible investments in
our future. This has been done in the best tradition of bipartisan
cooperation.
That cooperation continues under the leadership of Senate President
Harry Johnston-House Speaker James Harold Thompson-and mi-
nority leaders Senator Dick Langley and Representative Dale Pat-
chett.
We will continue to make those prudent, responsible investments
together-and we will continue to keep taxes low at the same time.
Those are our goals for this session.

EDUCATION
We need to sustain our commitment to an investment in educa-

tion-and that investment must be focused on our teachers and our
students.
In 1979 under the leadership of Speaker Hyatt Brown and President
Phil Lewis we focused our resources on reducing the student/teacher

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

ratio in kindergarten through third grade and third grade test scores
have increased by 10.5 percent.
In 1983 we enacted significant high school education reforms-
among them the most stringent high school graduation requirements
in the country.
Former Speaker Lee Moffitt and former President Curtis Peterson
deserve credit for a program which has led to a 68 point increase in
college entrance scores.
In 1979 we enacted the Eminent Scholars Program-accelerating the
progress in linking our state university system with private industry.
The Eminent Scholars Program was Senator Jack Gordon's inspira-
tion.
Today we can boast of 102 chairs in fields ranging from theatre to
cancer research.
In 1986 we can accomplish our goal of reaching the upper quartile
for community college and university faculty salaries.
We are on the threshold of reaching the upper quartile in our public
schools.
Our commitment to the upper quartile says clearly that we support
and appreciate the efforts our students and teachers have made
towards excellence in education.
We have to back up our combined quest for excellence with a
renewed effort to keep the best teachers in the classroom.
We particularly cannot afford to lose teachers to higher-paying jobs
in industry because over the next 10 years Florida will need 80,000
new, quality teachers to keep up with our rapid growth in enrollment.
To attract and keep qualified, dedicated teachers in our classrooms
we need to invest in a minimum salary for our public school teachers of
$18,000 starting this school year-and to increase that minimum to
$22,000 over the next two years.
We need to make an investment in an across-the-board pay increase
of 7.86 percent.
We need a career ladder program to provide professional and
financial recognition to our best teachers, to encourage them to remain
classroom teachers.
And we recognize the continued efforts of Representatives Ray
Stewart and Tommy Hazouri and Senator Betty Castor to see that our
education goals are met.
A prudent and thoughtful investment in education is our funda-
mental investment in Florida's future.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Together we've created a prosperous, progressive economy for
Florida-and that's an investment we have to continue.
In 1980, with your support, Florida voters approved a series of
constitutional amendments, "Five for Florida's Future,"-strong eco-
nomic development incentives. They have worked.
We have created 1.2 million new jobs and kept our unemployment
rate well below the national average.
We reached the national average for per capital income for the first
time in this state's history.
We have a growing high technology industry and we have become an
important center for international commerce.
We need to strengthen our tourism industry to meet the challenge
from international markets-and that will cost more than we have
previously spent.
We will meet that challenge with a partnership between our tourism
industry and our state-the creation of a Florida Tourism Commission
to oversee an aggressive, effective marketing strategy for Florida.

I urge you to invest in that program with a tourism promotion fee
which will raise $20 million for that effort.

April 8, 1986

Our actions must provide certainty and predictability for landown-
ers. We must not allow indecision to cloud land claims for another
decade.
We look forward to working with Senator Tom McPherson and
Representative Charles Canady to achieve these goals.

OF REPRESENTATIVES 9

Our investment in the continued growth of our tourism industry will
demonstrate the same high rate of success because of the constant
work of Representative Fran Carlton and Senators Bob Crawford and
Pat Frank.
In 1983 and 1985 we worked together to keep our economy sound by
enhancing our vital transportation system. The new revenues for this
system have enabled us to invest $2.2 billion in roads and bridges and
allowed Florida to outbid other states in obtaining over $600 million in
discretionary advanced interstate construction funds. Since 1979, we
have built 3,228 new miles of highway in Florida.
Jim Woodson, who is one of several special Floridians with us today,
uses Florida's transportation network to ship his tomatoes. Jim and his
brother started a one-shed packing house in Palmetto, Florida in 1964
with money they saved working on the family's small farm.
Today Richfield Packing Company, Inc. employs 400 people during
the season and grosses between $4 and $6 million a year-and sends
its produce to Canada and Puerto Rico and all over the United States.
I would like you to recognize Jim Woodson, a man who has made an
investment in Florida's economic future. Jim. Thank you for joining us
today, Mr. Woodson.
This year we need to reduce the acquisition costs for right-of-way
property and make road contractors more responsive to meeting
deadlines and building durable highways.

ENVIRONMENT
Florida's environment is the envy of the world. Each week thousands
of tourists and new residents seek it out.
The preservation of our incomparable environmental resources
requires of us a continuing investment in conservation and ecological
enhancement.
In 1981, 1982 and 1984 you enacted Save Our Coasts, Save Our
Rivers and Save Our Everglades. Today Florida is nationally recog-
nized for bringing more endangered lands into public ownership than
any other state.
That's number 1 in the entire nation.
Protecting our most delicate and enduring resources before these
programs was often a personal crusade.
Bill Lund, from Jupiter, spent 20 years fighting for the preservation
of the Loxahatchee River, a river that is close to the heart of our
Senate President. Thanks to his efforts-today the Loxahatchee is the
only unchanneled river in Southeast Florida. Last year the Depart-
ment of the Interior declared Bill's river a "wild and scenic river."
Bill Lund invested a lot of himself in saving the Loxahatchee-we
can do no less. Thank you, Bill for helping make this a better Florida.
In 1984 and in 1985 the Florida Legislature had the wisdom to enact
a framework to protect our resources and to set a course for responding
to Florida's growth under the leadership of Senators Pat Neal and
George Stuart and Representative Jon Mills.
I urge you to continue our investment in our irreplaceable environ-
ment:
-to continue the purchase of sensitive coastal lands,
-to protect fresh water supplies,
-to support the system of environmental programs we have created
together,
-to guard against the threat of contamination from leaking
underground petroleum tanks.
We must act this year to protect the State titles to the lands under
our lakes and rivers-these were our inheritance. They will be the
legacy that this generation should pass on to the future of Florida.

HUMAN SERVICES
In 1979 we began an infusion of support for our Community and
Home Care for the Elderly Program which had been an ambitious
blueprint designed to reduce the number of older Floridians who faced
institutionalization.
Today that program serves over 33,000 persons throughout the
state-our investment in our elderly programs saves Florida about $56
million a year in long term health care costs.
Programs like Community Care and Home Care for the Elderly are
reasons that we can provide more and better human services while
keeping our taxes low.
That investment in dignity and independence has been diligently
safeguarded by Representative Fred Lippman and Senators Dempsey
Barron and Jeanne Malchon.
Together we have also responded to the rising reports of child abuse
and to the growing needs of working parents.
In the special session in 1984 and again last year Florida took action
against child abuse. We provided additional funds to better train and
screen child care workers-and to hire more child abuse investigators
to reach our goal of responding to 100 per cent of abuse and neglect
complaints within 24 hours.
Three of our strongest advocates for children have been Representa-
tives Elaine Gordon and Ron Johnson and Senator Roberta Fox.
Our systems for human services sometimes have failures-our
failures are not failures of the heart, nor of compassion, nor of intent.
When they occur, we turn our attention to the problems and what it
takes to solve them.
Today I want to tell you about one of our great successes-Kathy
Walden.
Mrs. Walden has placed 300 clients in jobs since she started working
for Florida as a job placement counselor in Apopka. Her average-the
highest in the state-is almost a client a day. She finds jobs for single
parents who are on welfare-and she does not take "no" for an answer.
Her effort is what makes our Work Incentive Program a success. At
82 Mrs. Walden invests enough energy in Florida every day to restore
hundreds of families to independence and dignity.
Mrs. Walden is one of the reasons why Florida's employment and
training programs have placed over 41,000 welfare clients in the last
three years.
With her help, we have made this investment. It has paid us a
dividend of $63 million saved in public assistance costs.
Thank you, Mrs. Walden.
Some investments cannot be quantified in dollars and cents.
Our perinatal programs are such investments.
Jennifer, Jillian and Jamie Leuscher are part of the return on our
investment in newborn health care.
The Leuscher triplets were each 2.2 pounds at birth-two months
premature. They spent three months at All Children's Hospital in St.
Petersburg in the neonatal intensive care unit where a team of
perinatal specialists battled to keep them alive.
Today Annette and Greg Leuscher have three healthy, active,
beautiful two year olds. They are walking and starting to talk and
they've even been in a TV toy commercial.
Three babies who weren't supposed to make it did-because we had a
medical system in place to work miracles.
I would like to introduce Annette Leuscher and Jennifer, Jamie and
Jillian.

E

I urge you to continue expanding opportunities for Floridians-to
add 5,000 older Floridians to our Community and Home Care
Programs so they may live in dignity and independence-to create
2,000 more openings in child care centers-to reduce infant mortality
through maternal health care and neonatal intensive care services.

the past. Florida has added to its natural and human assets a quality
of government. A quality of government which has been aware of its
proper role, fostering the ability and opportunity of individual men and
women to achieve, assuring that an orderly and just society is
maintained, protecting and enhancing the natural birthright, the land,

OF REPRESENTATIVES April 8, 1986

That's an investment in the Florida of the future we can all be proud
of making-and we are fortunate to have legislators like Representa-
tive Sam Bell and Senator Frank Mann to make sure those programs
continue.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
We have invested compassion and energy and dollars in safeguard-
ing opportunity for Floridians-to give them happier, healthier lives,
the chance for a good education and for meaningful employment. These
investments are the best prevention of crime.
But we must remain diligent in our efforts to rid our state of
criminals and their activities.
We cannot-and we will not-tolerate abuses of personal safety and
the degradation of the quality of life of this state by crime.
In 1979 the first bill we enacted together set a minimum mandatory
sentence for drug traffickers. As a result of that single bill-1,047 drug
traffickers are currently behind bars in our state prisons-serving a
minimum mandatory sentence.
We need more people like Special Agent Humberto Rapado to clean
up drug smuggling networks.
Special Agent Rapado has worked for the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement's Narcotics Squad in Miami for the past six years.
He's solved kidnapping, exposed cocaine rings and supervised
wiretap investigations.
Humberto Rapado's dedication makes Florida a better place in which
to live. Thank you for being with us today.
In 1982-an election year for all of us-we worked together to
increase the sales tax by one cent-half of those revenues went to local
governments to join us in the fight against crime.
For three years as state and local spending for law enforcement
increased-the crime rate dropped.
It is an effort which demands continued diligence.
Our recent increase in crime-much of that due to the drugs
smuggled through our unprotected borders-mandates a recommit-
ment to strength and balance in the criminal justice system. Only by
putting more resources into prevention, detection, arrest, swift prose-
cution and sure punishment will we combat the threat to our personal
security.
With the hard work of legislators like Senator Ken Jenne and
Representative Chris Meffert, we will do whatever it takes to keep
crime out of Florida.
One way to do that this year is the formation of a crack
anti-terrorism team which will also work to round up fugitive felons in
our State. We want to make this state safe for Floridians.
Friends, this is an especially poignant day for me-as it is for many
of you.
For friends like Speaker Thompson and Representative Herb
Morgan, this will be our last occasion to participate in the celebration
of the opening of a legislative session.
There is much for us to be proud of-our state has grown to levels of
economic prosperity, political influence and justice for all which would
have been beyond that imagined by our mothers and fathers. Certainly
these accomplishments have been achieved in part due to circum-
stances that we did not create: our unparalleled environment; the
quality of people from around the world who have chosen Florida to be
their home; advances in science and in human understanding. For
those, we thank our Creator and his wise subjects.
But there are other places on this planet which have shared similar
gifts and have squandered them on repression, greed, a pandering to

the water, the air of all Floridians. We cannot take this heritage of
democratic government for granted.
Too many of you here today and across our state have personally
experienced the loss of those freedoms-the loss of those freedoms in an
island nation as naturally blessed as Florida. A nation with which we
pray we will soon reunite in our common dream of liberty. I thank you
and the generous people of Florida for the opportunity that you have
given to Wayne and to Margie and to our family.
I want to especially thank my friends of 20 years-Wayne and
Margie Mixson. You have set an example of enthusiasm and dedication
for all Floridians to emulate. It has been a rewarding experience to
have traveled this road with you.
My wife, Adele, and our girls-we've shared crises and triumphs
over these last few years. Our daughters have grown from children to
adulthood. These have been the happiest and most fulfilling years of
my life-and in no small measure because of Adele who has stood by,
in many cases led-working, dreaming and watching the state that we
love.
Each of the challenges that we have shared together has given us an
opportunity to extend ourselves and each success has been an
indication of how much more there is to be accomplished.
I leave this morning with these final words:
We are part of an ever unfolding history of Florida. Our progress is
built on the foundation of our predecessors. We are providing the next
floors for those who will follow.
We must be visionary. We must chart a clear path for our
future-we cannot be consigned to responding to yesterday's crises.
Do not be reluctant to set goals beyond the grasp of a specific
legislature or administration.
If our vision has magic it will capture and galvanize sustained
support. If it depends on the force of individual personality it will fade.
You have been given one of life's most valued possessions-the trust
and confidence of your fellow citizens.
We were all citizens before we became representative or senator or
commissioner or judge or governor. We continue to be citizens and we
will be citizens long after our temporary titles have shifted to others.
What will we do with this temporary trust?
We should put aside the pretentions and petty-the safety of the
next election-for the challenge of excellence.
There can be no profit in re-election if we have lost the joy of a job
well done.
All of us want to be able to look back with our grandchildren on our
time of service as one of distinction-a special period in which future
generations will share our pride.
We have a unique opportunity in Florida, an opportunity shared by
few other places on this globe. We have been given the opportunity to
create a society of genuine excellence. We can be its architects and its
builders. Our monuments will not be in marble-they will be in life.
They will be in the lives of our fellow Floridians, people like those who
have shared with us today-those shared a thousand and a thousand
times more.
What a challenge-what a joy!
Friends, Florida, I thank you!

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 House Bill 170, enacted by the Ninth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1985, and entitled:
An act relating to insurance; amending s. 627.419, F.S., requiring
chiropractic coverage in certain insurance policies, plans and
contracts; 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. In addition, this bill requires
that any limitation or condition placed upon payment to any licensed
physicians be applied equally to all licensed physicians.
House Bill 170 unfairly interferes with the private right to contract.
The terms of a health insurance contract are best left to the insurer
and the employer/insured. Absent some compelling public policy which
necessitates imposition of qualifications or benefits, the freedom to
contract should not be preempted by the state.
A similar bill (HB 475) was passed by the Regular Legislative
Session of 1984 and I withheld my approval of that legislation. The
information presented to me since that time has not diminished the
concerns I previously expressed. To the contrary, language added to
the legislation this year which requires uniform application of
payment limitations, serves to amplify these concerns.
Containment of spiraling health care costs is among the most
difficult challenges facing the public and private sectors in Florida
today. 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 care. Costs
associated with this legislation can be demonstrated by assessing its
impact upon the State Group Insurance Plan. Chiropractic coverage is
currently available on a personal choice basis under the State Plan.
Those who desire it can pay for and obtain chiropractic coverage.
At the present time, 5113 employees and retirees have opted for this
coverage. Another 2853 legislative and senior management employees

calendar year (whichever comes first) per participant; (2) an arrange-
ment with the Florida Preferred Provider Organization for reduced
fees and utilization of a claims review process; and (3) a separate $100
calendar year deductible for chiropractic physician charges.
Assuming these cost containment measures were continued, the cost
of mandating chiropractic coverage under the State Plan has been
estimated at $1 million. However, there is reason to believe that these
cost containment measures could not be continued because of language
in HB 170 which requires that any limitation on payment to any
licensed physician be imposed equally upon all licensed physicians.
This requirement is itself more troublesome than the mandated
chiropractic coverage. The bill states:
"Any limitation or condition placed upon payment to or services,
diagnosis, or treatment by, any licensed physician shall apply
equally to all licensed physicians without unfair discrimination to
the usual and customary treatment procedures of any class of
physicians."

This language is subject to many interpretations. It could serve to
limit or eliminate preferred provider organizations, as they both place
limitations on payments to providers and subject certain providers to
reviews not required of other providers. It could mandate that all
classes of physicians be included in a preferred provider organization.
It could prohibit use of survey-based fee schedules whereby providers
are reimbursed on the basis of usual and customary fees charged by a
certain class of provider in a certain locale. It could prohibit separate
deductibles such as the $100 chiropractic deductible applicable to the
State Plan. Finally, the restriction could be interpreted to severely
limit an insurer from exercising judgment as to the medical necessity
of treatment. The language prohibits "unfair discrimination to the
usual and customary treatment procedures of any class of physicians."
Therefore, if one class of physicians considers a course of treatment to
be "usual and customary", an insurer could not refuse payment on the
basis that other classes of providers consider the treatment experi-
mental or unnecessary.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
170, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 2, 1985,
and do hereby veto the same.

Sincerely,
BOB GRAHAM

Honorable George Firestone
Secretary of State
Dear Secretary Firestone:
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 and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 182, enacted by the Ninth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1985, and entitled:
An act for the relief of Johnnie Mae Singleton; providing an
appropriation to compensate her 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 Department of Transportation funds for
an incident which occurred in 1971 when the claimant apparently
stepped on a manhole cover located in thee i of the sidewalk. The
cover gave way and she fell into the hole, sustaining injuries to her
right arm.
A similar bill (HB 382) was passed by the Regular Legislative
Session of 1984 and I withheld my approval of that legislation. No

additional evidence of liability has been adduced to change the
reasoning for withholding my approval of this present bill.

There has been no evidence presented that there is a legitimate
claim against the Department of Transportation from this incident.
This case has not been tried by a court or presented to a jury. Also the
report of the Senate special master in this case could not conclude that
the proximate cause of the injury was the negligence of the Depart-
ment of Transportation. This is the same conclusion reached by the
Senate special master in 1984 and again this year. The House special
master reached similar conclusions both in 1984 and 1985.
Further, Section 11.065(1), Florida Statutes, states:
(1) STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS:
"No claims against the state shall be presented to the Legislature
more than 4 years after the cause for relief accrued. Any claim
presented after this time of limitations shall be void and
unenforceable."
As mentioned above, the incident which resulted in the presentation
of this claim occurred 14 years ago.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
182, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 2, 1985,
and do hereby veto the same.

Honorable George Firestone

Dear Secretary Firestone:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of Florida, I
hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my objections,
Committee Substitute for House Bill 612, enacted by the Ninth
Legislature of Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision,
during the Regular Session of 1985, and entitled:
An act relating to outdoor advertising; amending s. 479.01, F.S.,
eliminating the definition of the term "new highway" and
redefining the term "unzoned commercial or industrial area";
amending Chapter 479, F.S. restricting the authority of the
Department of Transportation to revoke certain sign permits;
amending s. 479.07, F.S., modifying annual sign permit fees;
amending 479.11, F.S., eliminating the prohibition of signs on new
highways; amending s. 479.14, F.S., deleting language relating to
the use of fees for the removal of nonconforming signs; amending
s. 479.26, F.S., providing for a grandfather clause; creating s.
479.35, F.S., designating and protecting scenic highways; amend-
ing Chapter 479, F.S., relating to on-premise signs, providing for
Sunset review and repeal; providing an effective date.
Committee Substitute for House Bill 612 as enacted by the Florida
Legislature, evidences a significant retreat from the reforms passed by
the Florida Legislature in 1984 during its sunset review and re-
enactment of Chapter 479, Florida Statutes, regarding the authority of
the Department of Transportation (DOT) in the regulation of outdoor
advertising.
Specifically, Committee Substitute for House Bill 612 liberalizes the
outdoor advertising law in four areas. It would have an adverse impact
on highway beautification and impinge upon the natural and scenic
beauty of Florida for residents and visitors traveling along our
highway system.
Section One of this legislation removes the present blanket prohibit-
ion against signs on "new highways" outside of urban areas. It
substitutes a requirement that outdoor advertising signs would be
prohibited on certain highways which are designated as "scenic
highways." While the bill does designate portions of the interstate

system including 1-95 and 1-75 as scenic highways, this change could
affect the proliferation of outdoor advertising on the new roads and

12

April 8, 1986

highways already planned. It places the burden on DOT and the
Legislature that in order to avoid erection of any new outdoor
advertising on new highways, such highways would need to be
designated statutorily as a scenic highway under this bill. Current law
would place each new road automatically under the category of "new
highway" which would prohibit this outdoor advertising.
Further, under this legislation, it would be much easier to erect
signs based on the existence of "unzoned commercial and industrial
areas." Present law requires the presence of at least three separate and
distinct commercial or industrial uses within a 1600 foot radius of each
other in order for outdoor advertising signs to be erected in an unzoned
agricultural area along the highway. This bill deletes that require-
ment. Instead it requires only one such commercial or industrial use be
present in order to permit the erection of outdoor advertising.
The bill further strikes at the ability of DOT to implement the 1984
legislation. Under Section Three of this legislation, permit fees for
signs are reduced to a level producing revenues which are estimated as
sufficient only to support the cost of administration of the regulatory
program. Under present law, permitting fees would yield revenue in
excess of program costs. That revenue would be matched by monies
from the transportation trust fund for a.total of $600,000 annually for
the purpose of removing signs that may have been legal when
originally placed along the highway but no longer meet the require-
ments of the 1984 outdoor advertising law.
With the reduction in the permitting fees and the lack of authoriza-
tion to conduct a removal program, DOT will be unable to initiate
removal of the signs which do not conform to current law.
Finally, Section Eight of the legislation directs that Chapter 479,
Florida Statutes, shall not be interpreted so as to preclude placement
and erection of a sign anywhere on a business premises when the sole
purpose of that sign is to provide direction to the business location.
Should this portion of the bill be construed to allow erection of those
signs on property which is not an integral part of the business activity,
the provision would place Florida in conflict with federal regulations
implementing the Highway Beautification Act of 1965.
Those federal regulations require that state laws governing sign
permitting shall discourage and prohibit attempts to circumvent
regulation regarding signage directing patrons to an established
business or identifying major products or services at that location.
This legislation could possibly allow signage which is not "on
premise" or not sufficiently connected with the business property so as
to be exempt from permitting.
The consequence of violating these federal regulations could be the
imposition of a penalty withholding ten percent of Florida's federal
highway funding. This penalty, which could amount to a withholding
of some $58 million, would severely handicap Florida transportation
programs.
It is a further concern that the bill also provides for repeal of
Chapter 479, Florida Statutes, on October 1, 1986, and that the
Legislature shall perform a sunset review prior to that date. The
Florida Legislature in 1984 performed just such a sunset review of the
outdoor advertising statutes and has amended that law during the
1985 Legislative Session. A further sunset review of that chapter of
Florida Statutes in 1986 is unnecessary. The effect of major revisions
to statutory law at such frequent intervals is to frustrate any effective
implementation of a regulatory program by DOT.
We recognize the concerns of business for attracting patronage to
their establishments along our highway system. DOT under Section
479.26, Florida Statutes (1984 Supplement), has a "specific informa-
tion panel" or the so-called "logo" program which could achieve just
such a patronage improvement. DOT is encouraged by the progress of
states such as New York, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Virginia
in the use of this program and in its effectiveness in attracting
travelers to those businesses located off the highway while helping to
eliminate the clutter of outdoor advertising and signage. It is hoped

that businesses affected by this legislation would make aggressive use
of the logo program to direct motorists and to meet their advertising
needs while not detracting from the beauty of Florida.

Honorable George Firestone
Secretary of State
Dear Secretary Firestone:
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 my
objections to House Bill 647, enacted by the Ninth Legislature of
Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the
Regular Session of 1985, and entitled:
An act relating to motorcycle riders; amending s. 316.211, F.S.;
exempting persons of a specified age from certain safety equip-
ment requirements; providing an effective date.
House Bill 647 as it passed the Senate and House repeals the
requirement that motorcycle operators and riders must wear approved
headgear and eye protective devices at all times. Although House Bill
647 repeals the law only for persons 21 years of age and older, I
maintain several concerns.
The evidence is conclusive that wearing a helmet while riding a
motorcycle will reduce the severity of head injuries received in
accidents. Numerous studies have been conducted in the approximate-
ly 30 states which have either totally or partially repealed their
helmet laws since the Highway Safety Act of 1976 removed the
sanctioning authority of the Secretary of Transportation regarding
motorcycle helmet usage. A summary of these major studies reveals
that (1) riders without helmets are three times more likely to incur
fatal head injury when involved in an accident than helmeted riders,
and they are twice as likely to incur head injuries of all types, (2)
observed helmet use among street motorcyclists declined from about 98
percent to 55 percent when not enforced by law, and (3) repeal of a
state's motorcycle helmet law is typically followed by an almost 40
percent increase in motorcycle fatalities.
The question raised as a result of this legislation is to what extent
the state should impose its judgment that wearing a motorcycle helmet
is necessary. An individual's decision to accept or avoia risk of injury
or death is a personal right. This argument against a state mandate to
wear motorcycle helmets could, in itself, be persuasive. The conse-
quences of such a personal risk, however, are not limited solely to the
individual. Motorcycle injury and death affects the whole of society.
There will be an increase in the number of injuries and the severity
of injuries if Florida's motorcycle helmet law is altered. Based on a
joint study performed by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles and the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services,
100 additional deaths and 7,000 additional head and upper body
injuries will occur next year if the motorcycle helmet law is repealed.
Based on information from the Department of Health and Rehabilita-
tive Services, the public will bear a minimum of 50 percent of this
burden either through increased hospitalization costs or through
increased insurance premiums. It is estimated that the direct costs for
health care and rehabilitation of head injury patients will total $9
million a year if the motorcycle helmet law is repealed. These figures
do not include the consideration of lost productivity, welfare aid to
dependents, unemployment compensation, and other components of the
overall cost. And no cost can account for the increased pain and
suffering to the families of the victims.
In 1983, Florida was first in the nation among motorcycle accidents

with 579 accidents per 10,000 motorcycle registrations. Florida was
9th among motorcycle fatalities with 11.1 motorcycle fatalities per

April 8, 1986

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

14

10,000 motorcycle registrations. However, Florida was 46th in the
nation among fatalities per accident with 1.9 motorcycle fatalities per
100 accidents. A year-round motorcycle riding season, lack of a
uniform motorcycle safety education program, and until 1984, the lack
of a motorcyclist licensing program all contribute to Florida's high rate
of motorcycle accidents. A sound motorcycle helmet use law together
with an effective motorcycle safety education program will keep
Florida's motorcycle fatality rate one of the lowest in the country.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
647, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 2, 1985,
and do hereby veto the same.

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 and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 710, enacted by the Ninth Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular
Session of 1985, and entitled:
An act relating to financial responsibility; amending s. 324.031,
F.S., specifying the amount of any surety bond or deposit which
must be met by certain persons to establish financial responsibili-
ty and requiring certain excess insurance under certain circum-
stances; amending s. 324.171, F.S., providing different qualifica-
tions for self-insurance for private passenger and commercial
vehicles; amending s. 627.736, F.S., relating to mental and
physical examinations of injured persons; providing an effective
date.
Most of House Bill 710 relates to the manner by which owners or
operators of motor vehicles can prove financial responsibility under our
automobile insurance law. Identical provisions are contained in
Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 713, which was also enacted by
the 1985 Legislature, and I have no objection to these provisions.
However, House Bill 710 contains an amendment to Section
627.736(7), Florida Statutes, which law currently sets forth the
procedures by which an insurance company can require an individual
who is injured in an automobile accident to undergo an independent
medical exam or "IME" to evaluate the individual's condition and
injuries. Insurers typically use IME recommendations to determine
whether an individual is in need of medical treatment, and whether he
or she is receiving treatment appropriate to his or her injuries.
House Bill 710 would prohibit an insurer from withdrawing payment
to a treating physician without the consent of the injured person unless
the insurer first obtained a report by a physician licensed under the
same licensing chapter as the treating physician, and such report
concluded that the treatment was not "reasonable, related or neces-
sary." In other words, only a medical physician could evaluate a
patient treated by another medical physician, only a chiropractor could
evaluate a patient treated by another chiropractor, and only a
naturopath could evaluate a patient treated by another naturopath.
The sponsors of this amendment have produced information which
indicates that some IME recommendations done by medical physicians
are less than objective when the treating physician is a chiropractor.
To date, the Insurance Commission has found it necessary to issue two
notices to the insurance industry reminding them that the IME should
not be used to arbitrarily limit the insured's right to choose
chiropractic treatment when such treatment is appropriate.
However, the limitation imposed upon insurers under House Bill 710

is unnecessarily broad. While an injured person should maintain the
right to choose among the various health care providers available, the

April 8, 1986

insurer should also be entitled to utilize a qualified physician,
regardless of the type of license, to determine whether the treatment
being received is reasonable, related or necessary.
Current law already imposes a strong penalty upon insurers who
arbitrarily deauthorize payment of an injured person's benefits.
Section 627.428, Florida Statutes, requires an insurer to pay the
attorneys fees of any injured person who prevails in a court action
against the insurer for payment of such benefits.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill 710,
Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 2, 1985, and
do hereby veto the same.

Dear Secretary Firestone:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of Florida, I
hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my objections,
House Bill 1081, enacted by the Ninth Legislature of Florida under the
Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session of
1985, and entitled:
An act relating to fiduciaries; amending s. 733.817, providing for
the apportionment of estate taxes as to certain marital deduction
property; amending s. 737.3053, F.S., providing that the income of
certain wills and trusts must, unless otherwise provided in the
instrument, be distributed at least annually; amending s. 737.306,
F.S., relieving certain successor trustees of personal liability for
actions and omissions of certain prior trustees; providing that
certain successor trustees are relieved of any duty to institute
actions against certain prior trustees; providing an effective date.
House Bill 1081 originated in the Florida House of Representatives
and is a bill dealing with various aspects of the administration of wills
and trusts under the probate laws of Florida. Section 3 of House Bill
1081 purports to limit the personal liability of a successor trustee for
the acts of any prior trustee who had also created the trust. The bill
would further purport to relieve the successor trustee from the
affirmative duty to investigate and bring suit against the prior trustee
for any wrongful acts.
As passed by both the House and Senate, this provision would apply
to both revocable and irrevocable trusts. After careful analysis of the
potential tax consequences of this removal of liability, there is concern
that unintended tax consequences could flow to the taxable estate of
the settlor and prior trustee's estate. With this possibility, trust assets
could be taxable in the prior trustee's estate and the unintended
outcome could be that Florida law has been amended to provide tax
consequences to thousands of trusts and estates which are presently in
effect.
Acknowledging that a technical flaw exists in this legislation, the
sponsors of this bill as well as interested parties have requested that
approval be withheld. Both the sponsors and interested parties agree
that the technical flaw as outlined above outweighs other substantive
amendments contained within this legislation and agree that new
legislation should be sponsored during the next regular session. New
legislation could correct any technical flaws and incorporate the same
concepts without having any unintended tax consequences and liabili-
ty.
For the above reasons, I am withholding my approval of House Bill
1081, Regular Session of the Legislature, commencing on April 2,
1985, and do hereby veto the same.

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, Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for House
Bill 1357 enacted by the Ninth Legislature of Florida under the
Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the 1985 Session entitled:
An act relating to district school personnel certification; creating
s. 231.145, F.S.; providing legislative intent; amending s. 231.15,
F.S.; revising types of certificates; establishing fee requirements;
amending s. 231.17, F.S.; adding requirement for subject area
testing in the written teacher examination; adding requirement
for minimum grade point averages; providing for subject matter
tests for vocational education personnel; specifying conditions for
temporary certificates; providing certification requirements for
nondegreed vocational education personnel; amending s. 231.24,
F.S., relating to certificate renewal; providing an extension of

ing performance evaluation; amending ss. 231.172, 231.251,

providing for review and repeal, providing an effective date.
The education of our children is a critical investment in their future.
The heart of that education is the classroom teacher. An essential issue
in providing such education is attracting and retaining high quality
teachers.
Florida is fortunate to have attracted many caring and competent
professional teachers. We are in danger of losing them because we
have failed to adequately reward them. A Nation at Risk, by the
National Commission on Excellence in Education, projects serious
shortages because of shortcomings with the level of rewards and
conditions of the teaching profession: ". the professional working life
of teachers on the whole is unacceptable. .. ."
A series of actions, including salary increases, improved working
conditions, recognition and meritorious reward are vital to fully meet
the goal of attracting and keeping qualified teachers in the classroom.
Professional screening to examine the competence of teachers is
equally important.
A trusting public places their children in our hands in order to
secure an education. Our children are fragile and naive consumers of
education. Confined in the classroom by compulsory attendance laws,
by school assignment and class assignment, our children have little
choice but to remain with the teacher assigned. The lack of choice
mandates that we ensure teacher competence for both new teachers
being screened for the first time and career professionals earning
renewed credentials.
This legislation takes Florida in the proper direction by establishing
rigorous standards to license new teachers. Guaranteeing a minimum
grade point average in the major field of study, requiring passage of a
subject area examination, a state approved performance evaluation,
and a college level and teacher skills test are excellent standards by
which this bill evaluates entering teachers.
However, this measure fails to provide that same scrutiny for license
renewal.
The bill sets the challenging goal of initial teacher licensing as
"requirements to assure that educational personnel in public schools
possess adequate pedagogical knowledge and relevant subject matter
competence and ... an acceptable level of professional performance."
However, the bill is far less ambitious in setting as a goal for teacher

license renewal merely "the continuing professional improvement of
school personnel .. ."

April 8, 1986

guaranteed a competent teacher. Counting coursework, inservice
hours, and work programs does not guarantee a sufficient level of
subject area competence.
Requiring teachers to maintain competence is critical. This is
particularly true, because of the rapid growth of information and

OF REPRESENTATIVES 15

The inadequacies of license renewal in this bill include:
-no sanctions for failure to meet the performance evaluation
standards;
-performance evaluations bargained in 67 school districts be-
tween school boards and local teacher unions;
-no assurance of statewide consistency of the performance
evaluations;
-no requirement for subject area competence;
-confusion between the employment relationship of teachers and
school districts and the licensure responsibility of the State.
An analogy to these requirements is a medical doctor employed at a
State hospital bargaining through a public employee union for a State
medical license.
This imbalance of high entry and low renewal standards is not
acceptable. Both initial and renewal license requirements must
maintain the same level if competence is to be ensured.
Why are teacher license renewal standards so critical? There are
more than 300,000 individuals with active teacher licenses in Florida
of whom 90,000 are currently teaching in public schools. Approximate-
ly 5000 to 6000 newly licensed teachers are hired each year. By 1990 it
is estimated that Florida will have approximately 96,000 classroom
teachers. About 80,000 of those individuals will be current license
holders. Over 80 percent of classroom teachers in 1990 will be teachers
who hold licenses which would be governed by this bill's inadequate
standards.
As subject knowledge and teaching information increase and change
over the years, a teacher licensed in the past must periodically
demonstrate competence to assure that that individual is current in
the subject area. Every child deserves a teacher who can demonstrate
the ability to perform as well today as five years before.
How can we guarantee those renewal standards? By requiring all
teachers to show two specific areas of competence, which this bill
partially includes. Those two areas are:
1. Periodic demonstration of classroom performance.
Ideally we should measure classroom performance of teachers by the
achievement of their students. Though there are great complexities in
directly linking individual student achievement to individual teacher
performance, research has shown that certain classroom management
and teaching skills are related to student achievement; teachers who
exhibit such behaviors are the most successful teachers. Measuring
actual classroom performance on a statewide performance measure-
ment system is a method of gauging classroom competence both for the
initial license and license renewal.
This bill requires new teachers to pass a state approved performance
evaluation for the initial license. However it only requires a locally
approved performance evaluation for renewal of licensing. Renewal
cannot be denied if a teacher performs unsatisfactorily on the
evaluation.
Requiring passage of a state-approved evaluation, in contrast to
allowing the use of a local evaluation, is important because of the need
for statewide teacher licensing. A teacher who is licensed by the state
should meet statewide standards so that all districts are assured that
teachers holding Florida licenses meet a uniform level of quality.
2. Periodic demonstration of subject matter knowledge.
Competence in subject matter knowledge is at the heart of quality. If
any teacher is not competent in his or her assigned subject area, the
loss to the students is permanent and cumulative. Demonstration of
subject competence by a test, written or oral is a standard screening
process to ascertain subject mastery.
The bill requires passage of a subject test for the initial license but
allows a test as an option for renewal of that license. Such option does
not meet the requirement that we ensure that all students be

16 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

tougher curriculum requirements. Teachers should be required to
demonstrate subject matter competence on a subject area test for
license renewal every five years.
The overall result is that this bill's standards for license renewal
create the illusion of student protection. In fact under this bill,
teachers will be re-licensed without adequate demonstration of compe-
tence. The false sense of security created by these superficial standards
is worse than no standards at all. Our responsibility to parents is to
assure that their children are receiving education from competent
professionals.
Further, we are confident that the teaching professionals in Florida
are fully capable of demonstrating their competence for licensing. And,
as the state adds rigor and increases standards for licensing, we must
fully understand that the state also incurs an obligation to fully
reward that competence. To retain those professional teachers it is
critical that Florida provide the highest recognition through economic
enhancement and other professional rewards.
Most 1985-86 teachers will be hired under the existing law. After
October 1, when the existing statute sunsets and prior to the 1986
school year I will work with the State Board of Education, the
Commissioner of Education, the Legislature, local school boards,
teaching professionals, and other concerned citizens to develop the
high standards of education that we seek for our State to meet this
goal.
This veto is reluctant but unavoidable. It is urgent that we improve
teacher license standards immediately and long term. We must have a
vision which includes high standards and we must have the courage to
follow that vision.
For the above stated reasons, I am withholding my approval on
Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill 1357

Remarks by Speaker Thompson
Let me just say this, ladies and gentlemen. I've told you so many
times what an honor it has been for me to serve as Speaker. I'll have to
follow that by saying, "so far." But I anticipate these next two months
will be a great experience for all of us.
I do believe that our last session together was a very fruitful one for
the people of our state and I think we took some far-reaching positions
that will anticipate and help Florida cope with what it is facing. I
think that this particular year will be one where we are all sensitive to
what we are going to do in the future. Those of us who won't be
participating in elected office any more are certainly working toward
and anticipating what we will do. Those of you who aspire to the same
office will be doing the same thing and those of you who aspire to
different offices will also be anticipating what you will do.
But let me admonish you in the only way I know how and that is
from some of the background and heritage I have. One of the old
sayings in my part of the world is "Don't ever forget to leave the dance
with the one that brung you." Don't ever think that the issues that
people bring to you in these two months and the positions that you
should take on those issues and the way that you conduct the public's
business during these two months is any different from the way it was
when you started. The commitments that you have made to those
issues-whether they're growth management, the environment, trans-
portation, education-my recommendation to you and to all of us is to
be sure and remember where we've come from, where we said we were
going, and stay on course. Don't be detracted by the things that we
want to do when we leave here in two months.
If we do that, I know that we'll have the kind of teamwork that we
enjoyed in a bipartisan fashion and we'll have the kind of spirit that it

took to accomplish those things that we accomplished in our last
session.
I look forward to the honor of serving you as your Speaker in these
next two months.

Rep. Morgan moved that the House, after receiving Reports, stand in
recess for the purpose of holding committee meetings and conducting
other House business to reconvene at 10:30 a.m., Monday. The motion
was agreed to.
