Tuesday, April 7, 1987

Journal of the House of Representatives for the 89th 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 7, 1987, 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 10:00 a.m. for the beginning of the 89th Regular Session,
and were called to order by the Speaker, the Honorable Jon Mills.

Prayer

The following prayer was offered by the Reverend Willie Mayberry,
Springhill Baptist Church, Gainesville:
Eternal God, we thank Thee for this blessed day. We pray that Thy
will find favor and bless our endeavors here today. We pray that our
deliberations will be guided by Your Holy Spirit. Where there is
confusion, grant us Thy peace; where there is hate, shower us with Thy
love. Control the heart and mind of the leader of this great State of
ours. May we forever be reminded that we are here today for business
and not folly. You have entrusted in us the great task as shapers and
leaders of Your people, and because of Your trust in us, let us be
forever reminded that we all have miles to go before we sleep, miles to
go before we sleep. If we should do these things that Thou have
commanded us to do then men, women, boys and girls would know that
Thou have sent us. In Your precious Name, we pray. Amen.

Under the provisions of article V, section 9, Florida Constitution, it

increasing or decreasing the number of judges required to fulfill the
judicial needs of Florida. To this end we have conducted an analysis of
case filings and have considered other pertinent criteria. We discern
and certify an immediate need for additional circuit and county judges
as follows:

This certification follows a request for sixteen circuit and ten county
court judgeships for fiscal year 1987-1988. We do not address, or
certify, in this opinion the need for judges in 1988-1989, but we
anticipate a need for additional judges for that year. For purposes of
projection, we believe that six district court of appeal, ten circuit, and
five county judges will likely be needed in the second year.
This Court enacted Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.035 to
delineate the general criteria to be used in assessing the need for
additional judgeships.* We have determined that the most consistent
and reliable factor to be utilized in determining the needs for
judgeships is total case filings per judge. A reliable state reporting
system of case filings has now been developed. From this source we
have received records of actual filings; our staff has developed a
reliable and proven capability of projecting case filings for the next
year. The projected filings per judge for twelve of the twenty circuits
exceed the statewide average of 1,864 cases per circuit judge, which the
Court regards as the level beyond which there is a presumptive need
for additional judicial manpower. Legislative authorization of the ten
circuit court judgeships requested will still leave five of the eight
circuits for which judgeships are certified with projected filings per
judge ratios that exceed the statewide average. Three of the eight
circuits for which additional judgeships are requested, the Fifth,
Thirteenth and Fifteenth, will have in excess of 2,000 filings per judge
even if the requested judges are authorized. All but one of the
requested circuit judgeships are justified on the basis of projected
filings per judge and are substantiated by the other criteria considered
by the Court.
The Eleventh Judicial Circuit's request is justified by a number of
factors other than total projected filings. Data resulting from an
evaluation of weighted projected filings, by case type, and the use of
statistical techniques to identify trends in the growth of judicial
manpower requirements for that circuit are much stronger indicators
of need for more judges. The need is particularly manifest in the

"*The criteria to be considered include:
(1) Case load statistics based upon data supplied to the State Courts
Administrator by the clerks of the circuit courts.
(2) Growth, nature, and projections of population within a particular court's
jurisdiction.
(3) Number of attorneys within a particular court's jurisdiction.
(4) The use and availability of retired judges to serve on a particular court.
(5) The presence of non-lawyer county court judges within a particular circuit
who by law cannot be assigned to assist with the circuit court case load.
(6) The geographic size of a circuit, including travel times between courthouses
in a particular jurisdiction.
(7) The presence of state facilities and institutions in a particular jurisdiction.
(8) Law enforcement activities in the court's jurisdiction, including any
substantial commitment of additional resources for state attorneys, public
defenders, and local law enforcement.
(9) Time since the last new judgeship was authorized for the particular
jurisdiction.
(10) The nature and complexity of cases coming before the courts in the
jurisdiction.
(11) Prior certifications which were not authorized by the legislature.

Committee from the Senate
A committee from the Senate consisting of Senators Brown,
Hollingsworth, Lehtinen, Ros-Lehtinen, and Weinstock appeared at

OF REPRESENTATIVES April 7, 1987

criminal divisions of the circuit court. The filings data for circuit
criminal cases includes a relatively low percentage of worthless check
cases. These cases account for a greater share of the total criminal
filings in other jurisdictions, making the Eleventh Circuit's criminal
caseload more demanding of judicial time. Circuit criminal filings in
Dade County generally involve a higher number of counts per
defendant than in other counties, and a large number of capital cases
are being filed in that county. Many cases in Dade County are time
consuming because of the need to use interpreters in court proceedings.
It is estimated that close to 100,000 translations occurred in the last
year. Finally, approximately 700 days of retired judge time and over
400 days of county judge time were committed to circuit level work in
Dade County in fiscal year 1985-86. These factors and the difficulties
inherent in managing the largest and most urban of Florida's courts
clearly support the request for at least one additional judge for the
Eleventh Judicial Circuit.
As with circuit judgeships, the primary criterion the Court used in
assessing the need for additional county judgeships was total filings
per judge. The Court also reviewed adjusted filing figures (civil,
criminal, and DWI cases, plus civil traffic infractions in which
hearings occurred) and filings data weighted to reflect variable work
requirements for the different types of cases. It is the Court's position
that the requested county judgeships are priorities based on these data
alone, although other factors justify the certification in each instance.
This Court recognizes that it is imperative that the court system be
managed efficiently and that available judicial time be well utilized.
The primary responsibility for this lies in the hands of the respective
chief judges. Suggestions and some direction come from this Court.
Florida's rapid population growth and an ever escalating number of
case filings, both criminal and civil, continually place an increased
demand for judicial services on the court system. Notwithstanding our
efforts to make the judicial system more efficient, the need for
additional judges does now and will continue to exist. Accordingly, we
certify the need for ten circuit and five county judgeships as a critical
funding priority for the state courts system for fiscal year 1987-88.

Almighty God, we praise You and we bless Your Name. As we

presence in all that we are and in all that we do. You are a God of
caring and compassion. You are a God intimately concerned with Your
creation and with all Your creatures. Your wish is that all of us should

help raise up one another to the fullness of our individual and
communal potential.

April 7, 1987

In 1986, you sowed the seeds of long-term financial stability for state
government by sunsetting numerous sales tax exemptions, particularly
those relating to personal services. To your credit-and not surpris-
ingly given your track record-a number of other states are again
following your lead in this area.

OF REPRESENTATIVES 3

This assembly, Lord, and its members have a unique work to do in
aiding and sustaining Your work of compassion and creation. Be with
them, Lord, we pray, in that work. May they perform it conscientious-
ly-may they work for the realization of the common good, for justice
and unity among all the citizens of this great State. May they serve the
interests of all and not just the special interests of some, whose voices
and influence are more powerful than others. May they show courage
in conviction and character in their commitment. May they respect one
another even in the acrimony and heat of debate and party politics.
May they be truly wise and prudent in all their deliberations and
decisions.
Finally, Lord, in all that they say and do and in all that they strive
to accomplish, may it be done with respect for Your will, Your creation
and Your people. May Your kingdom be more apparent in the State of
Florida through their decisions, their work and their untiring efforts to
serve You, through Your people. Amen.

Governor's Address

The Governor addressed the Joint Session as follows:
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the 1987 Florida Legisla-
ture, and special guests:
I am honored by the opportunity to speak to you today. For many of
you, State of the State addresses may be a matter of routine. Senator
Barron and Representative Ogden, you have certainly listened to a lot
of these speeches. If you listen carefully this time, then perhaps we can
excuse you on humanitarian grounds next year.
For me, on the other hand, nothing in state government is routine
yet. Just trying to get reimbursed for travel expenses is a bureaucratic
adventure in itself.
Even so, I assure you that repetition of this occasion over the years
will never dull the real sense of privilege I feel in participating in the
opening day of your annual deliberations.
I say this in all sincerity because the Florida Legislature has long
been an example to the Nation. Consider just the past two years.
In 1985, you plowed new ground by passing extensive growth
management legislation-the most ambitious and important legisla-
tion of its kind to be found in the statute books of any state in America.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Now you are meeting again, and I am here to report on the state of
the State as I see it. The fact is that Florida is in pretty good shape.
There are problems, of course. I don't need to tell you how many
people are coming here to live each day and what that means in terms
of demands on public services. In fact, a glance at the daily newspaper
might lead one to believe that Florida has more people than China and
that state government spends less per capital on public services than
Bangladesh.
One might even conclude that we live in dark times, awaiting the
sunrise. But those who see darkness in Florida need to open their eyes.
The economy continues to grow and diversify, employment remains
high, opportunity abounds, and government at every level is beginning
to respond to the many challenges we face.
One of the most important of these challenges is tax reform at the
state level. Florida cannot hope to maintain its very special quality of
life if its tax base is overwhelmed by its growth.
Currently, state government's principal source of revenue for
funding much needed public services is the sales tax. And this sales
tax is now levied only on sales of goods.
The growth rate of this limited revenue source simply does not keep
pace with the costs of meeting the rising demands for public services.
Additionally, each year the federal government withdraws more and
more of its resources from state and local governments. Thus, each
year we fall further and further behind in terms of matching our
resources with our needs.
Some have suggested that we respond to this problem by raising the
basic sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. This might cure our
revenue shortfall for the next couple of years, but the short-term
revenue problem is merely a symptom.
Structural defects in our tax base is the disease, and we must treat
the disease, not the symptom. I am prepared to take an unpleasant
dose of tax medicine this year, but I do not intend to do it year after
year because we did not have the courage to do it right the first time.
The fastest growing sector of our economy is personal services, not
sales of goods. If revenues are to keep pace with growth over the long
term, then we must extend the sales tax to services.
The demand for services is much less subject to fluctuations in the
economy than the demand for goods. If revenues are to be stabilized in
the face of economic downturns over the long term, then we must
extend the sales tax to services.
Purchasers of services are more affluent as a group than the
population as a whole. If we are to make our tax system more fair over
the long term, then we must extend the sales tax to services.
That is what my budget recommends, and that is what the future
demands.
Our task is not easy, however. The special interests are filling the
air with cries of doom and gloom and filling the halls of the Capitol
with high paid lobbyists and bad information.
For my part, every increase in pressure from those who would shirk
their duty to Florida's future convinces me again that we are
embarked on the right course. Under the leadership of Speaker Mills
and Representative Patchett in the House and President Vogt and
Senator Jennings in the Senate, and with the cooperation and support
of all of you, I am confident we will stay the course and put this critical
issue behind us early in the session.
That being the case, what is to be done with our new, reformed
revenue base?
I suggest we depart from usual political practices. As you know,
when it comes to taxation and spending, politicians usually fall into
one of three broad categories.
First, there are those who are bold about taxation and bold about
spending. These hardy souls are called liberals.
Second, there are those who are cautious about taxation and

cautious about spending. These daring individuals are often called
conservatives.

Finally, there are those who are cautious about taxation and bold
about spending. These are men and women who try to dwell
simultaneously on the higher levels of expectations and the lower
levels of responsibility. They like to be called moderates.
But this year I ask you to burst the bonds of conventional labels. I
ask you to be bold about taxation and cautious about spending, a
heretofore unheard of combination. I believe those who follow this path
will be called statesmen.
The temptation to commit every dollar that passes through the
state's treasury this year to expenditures that will have to be funded
again in subsequent years will be considerable. But it is a temptation
that must be resisted, because failure to do so could be fatal in the
future.
During the past four years, the annual rate of spending increases
without regard to reserves has been almost 12 percent. The budget I
propose has cut this growth rate in spending in half. We must get
spending under control by exercising real restraint. It is easier to raise
the dead than to kill today's continuing appropriation and redirect the
money to meet tomorrow's needs.
So unless we believe all of tomorrow's needs can be anticipated and
met today, then I strongly suggest we spend only what we can agree is
really necessary today and save the rest for tomorrow.
For this reason, I have recommended that approximately $500
million be appropriated for the working capital reserve fund. This is
only about 3 percent of the proposed state budget, a pitifully small
cushion against an economic downturn that must come sooner or later.
A major business operating without a significant reserve irresponsi-
bly courts disaster; a military commander operating without a
significant reserve irresponsibly courts disaster; and a state govern-
ment operating without a significant reserve irresponsibly courts
disaster.
Ladies and gentlemen, we may be overtaken by disaster, but I
certainly do not intend to court it. As a result, any budget legislation I
sign will have to provide for a significant reserve fund.
Which brings me to the rollback of the sales tax from 5 percent to 4.5
percent. I am aware that this proposal has not gained a lot of
legislative support so far, but I urge you to give very careful
consideration to the idea.
As I said before, broadening the sales tax base to include services
will make the tax more fair by shifting a portion of the burden from
the less affluent to those better able to pay. Rolling back the tax rate
would magnify this tax equity aspect of the tax reform I propose and
actually produce a tax reduction for many Floridians. I believe the
average taxpayers in Florida deserve a break, and we can give it to
them.
What then are the clearly identifiable recurring needs to which we
can commit now without reservation? In my Inaugural Address, I
stated that my priorities would be public education, public safety,
public health, and public works. My proposed budget reflects those
priorities.
Consider education, for example. Every year for as long as I can
remember, I have heard that education needs more money because
teachers need better pay and students need more books.
But every year, little Susie's teacher and little Johnny's books turn
out to be stalking horses for massive, across the board increases for the
education industry as a whole.
I recommend that we try a radical, new approach to this problem.
My idea is this: If teachers need higher pay and students need more
books, then let's actually pay teachers more money and actually buy
more books through specific legislation. But let's not throw hundreds of
millions of dollars at a bloated and inefficient education bureaucracy
in the forlorn hope that most of it will trickle down into the classroom.
In this context, I have recommended an additional $25 million

during the budget biennium for the purchase of instructional materi-
als, enough to ensure that every child has a textbook for every class.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

In each of the next two years, I also have recommended a 7 percent
salary increase for classroom teachers and those personnel who
directly support classroom teachers. This recommended annual in-
crease is twice the 1986 national average for private sector raises, a
total of three quarters of a billion dollars during the next two years.
Twice the national average for private sector raises, which is where
our teachers go when they leave teaching. But less than the national
average for teacher pay, which is unlikely to make our teachers move
to New York or Alaska. Two statistical relationships. Both true. Both
irrelevant. What is relevant concerning teacher pay is how much is
meaningful and practical in Florida, taking everything into considera-
tion. Three quarters of a billion dollars may not sound like much in an
Ivory Tower, but it certainly is a lot of money where I come from.
In addition to these recommendations, I have proposed increases to
cover our growing student population, a new program to recruit
teachers in subject areas where there are critical shortages, and a pilot
program for prekindergarten intervention.
I believe, however, that the education bureaucracy can make do with
less, which is why I have not recommended that it be given any more.
In the area of public safety, the bill for decades of neglect of our
prison system finally has come due.
We have been involved in litigation on prison conditions for 13
years; we are currently operating under a federal court order; judges
hesitate to sentence criminals to prisons they know are overcrowded;
and many inmates who are supposed to be in prison cells actually sleep
in tents.
No one who supports tough criminal laws, more police officers, and
more judges and prosecutors can in good conscience fail to support
more prisons, more prison guards, and more community control
personnel.
In this context, I have recommended $167 million over the next two
years to build or expand six prisons to house 2,800 prisoners; I have
recommended $25 million to operate these prisons during the bien-
nium; and I have recommended $20 million to enhance and expand
alternatives to incarceration, including innovative programs such as
house arrest through electronic surveillance.
I am sure that each of us is prepared to shoulder the real
responsibility that goes with campaign rhetoric. I look forward to
working with you to get the criminals off our streets and into our
prisons, our prisoners out of tents and into cells, and our government
out of court and into a positive law enforcement position.
In the area of public health, we have enormous responsibilities and
almost limitless opportunities to improve our current performance.
Indigent health care is one of the larger, more intractable problems
we face. Given the need, there is an understandable desire to plunge in
head first without delay. But given the complexities and the magni-
tude of the commitment we have to make to solve the problem, there is
every reason to proceed with caution.
It is for this reason that I have begun a new commitment to quality
human services by recommending a $75 million expansion of Medicaid
eligibility up to 100 percent of the federal poverty level for children,
pregnant women, and elderly and disabled individuals.
Admittedly, this is not a comprehensive response to the whole
problem of indigent health care, but it is an important first step in the
right direction.
A comprehensive response must include appropriate financial partic-
ipation by state government, local governments, and affected health
care delivery institutions; it must stress prevention as well as
treatment; it must address important questions concerning the proper
balance between health care regulation and health care competition; it
must be consistent with any tort reform we undertake; and it must
deal with related insurance issues.
I do not believe we are prepared to put forward such a comprehen-
sive response with any degree of confidence. None of the indigent

health care proposals with which I am now familiar appears to address
the whole problem.

Therefore, I recommend that rather than committing our limited
resources to funding what could turn out to be half measures from
which we cannot retreat, we should instead concentrate this year on
areas of clear need and on solutions of proven viability, such as the
Medicaid expansion I propose. Our full commitment on indigent health
care should be reserved for a consensus solution that can and should be
developed for the 1988 session.
In the area of public works, I have proposed major outlays for roads,
prisons, and schools, but I ask you to focus this year primarily on the
infrastructure needs of local governments. I believe local governments
must be given a one percent local option sales tax for capital
improvements only, subject to referendum approval by the local voters.
Within the limits imposed by our growth management legislation,
every community in Florida must have the opportunity to choose the
shape of its future. But there is no real choice where mandated
responsibilities far exceed available resources.
We have demanded that local governments build the infrastructure
to support the growth that we encourage at the state level through
economic development and tourism advertising. We owe local govern-
ments realistic access to the resources they need to do the job. The
property tax is not a realistic long-term funding option. Common sense
and basic considerations of fariness require that we all act in this
critical area of need, so I strongly urge you to support my proposal.
I could go on-and on. But I have already touched on issues enough
for two or three legislative sessions. Clearly, we have a full plate
before us, but I believe the plate is full of opportunities-opportunities
to make Florida all it can be.
Working together in a bipartisan spirit of cooperation, we can make
those opportunities tomorrow's reality. But it will take unusual
political courage and single-minded devotion to the general good. You
can count on me to do my part without fear or favor. I will count on you
to do the same.
Thank you very much ior having me here today. I appreciate it.
Thank you.

of the

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

for 1987

Rule One

Officers and Employees

1.1-Election of Speaker, Speaker pro tempore, Minority
Leader and Minority Leader pro tempore
A Speaker and a Speaker pro tempore shall be elected at the Organiza-
tion Session of the House. They are to continue in office until their suc-
cessors are chosen and qualified or until the expiration of their term,
whichever shall first occur. The Speaker and Speaker pro tempore shall
take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and of the
State of Florida, and for the true and faithful discharge of their duties of
office to the best of knowledge and ability.
The minority party shall elect, at a Minority Caucus to be held during
the Organization Session of the House of Representatives, a Minority
Leader and a Minority Leader pro tempore, the names of whom shall be
certified to the Clerk of the House. They shall continue in office until
their successors are chosen and qualified or until the expiration of their
terms, whichever shall first occur.

1.2-Election by Ballot
The election of the Speaker, the Speaker pro tempore, the Minority
Leader and the Minority Leader pro tempore shall be by ballot. The
Speaker and the Speaker pro tempore shall be elected by the full mem-
bership of the House. The Minority Leader and the Minority Leader pro
tempore shall be elected by the members of the minority party. In all
cases of ballot, a majority of the votes cast shall be necessary to win an
election. Where there shall not be a majority on the first ballot, the Mem-
bers voting shall then ballot on the two names receiving the higher
number of votes on the first ballot. Upon the request of five Members,
the vote of each Member present shall be entered upon the Journal.

1.3-Election of Clerk of the House
There shall be a Clerk who shall be elected for a period of two years
and shall keep open the Office of the Clerk during and between sessions
of the Legislature on a permanent basis. A permanent staff of assistants
shall be appointed to efficiently transact such business as assigned, or
required by law or by rules of the House, during and between sessions of
the Legislature. The Clerk shall take an oath to support the Constitution
of the United States and of the State of Florida, and for the true and
faithful discharge of the duties of office to the best of knowledge and abil-
ity.

1.4-Minority Leader's Responsibilities
The Minority Leader shall be responsible for the organization, control
and supervision of the Minority Office, including the administration of
the approved budget for the operation of the Minority Office. The Minor-
ity Leader shall also be responsible for assigning, coordinating and super-
vising the work of the Minority Office staff. He shall perform all other
coordinating activities and duties relating to the minority party. A major-
ity of the minority members in caucus may confer such additional duties
on the Minority Leader as may be deemed necessary.

1.5-Minority Leader pro tempore
In the temporary absence of the Minority Leader, the Minority Leader
pro tempore shall assume the duties and functions of the office of Minor-
ity Leader. In the event the office of Minority Leader is vacated, nothing

No employee of the House shall, directly or indirectly, be interested or

with any bill it shall be grounds for dismissal pursuant to Rule 1.6.

1.8-Hours of Employment and Duties of Employees; Absence;
Political Activity
Employees shall perform the duties allotted to them by custom and by
rule of the House and by order of the Speaker. All full-time employees

without prior permission, save for just cause, they shall be dismissed pur-
suant to Rule 1.6 or forfeit compensation for the period of absence upon

ity conduct the necessary business of the House.

clause, together with an appropriate title amendment if needed.

6.42-Committee Bills
A bill introduced by a committee shall be accompanied by a Committee
Information Record in the same manner as any other bill. A committee,
in reporting a committee bill, may designate a Member or Members as
co-sponsor(s) with the approval of said Member or Members. The bill
will be shown by the Clerk of the House as having been introduced by the
committee and the Member(s) so designated.

6.43-Recommittal
After a committee report has been received by the Clerk of the House,
no bill shall be recommitted to any committee (except the Committee on

The chairmen of the parent committees shall designate the chairmen
of the subcommittees except in the case of the Committee on Appropria-
tions, whose subcommittee chairmen shall be appointed by the Speaker.

committees, and that person shall have the responsibility for the keeping
of the necessary records and reports of the subcommittee.

6.47-Membership
No subcommittee shall have fewer than five members. A majority shall
constitute a quorum. Any bill reported in violation of this Rule shall be
forthwith recommitted by the chairman of the parent committee or by
the Speaker on point of order. The chairman of the parent committee
shall, ex officio, be an additional voting member of each subcommittee at
the chairman's pleasure. However, for the purpose of quorum, the com-
mittee chairman shall not be included in the membership of a subcom-
mittee.

6.48-Rules Binding on Subcommittees
Rules governing standing committees, as to notice of hearing, attend-
ance of subcommittee members, and requirements for the consideration
of bills, shall be binding upon subcommittees. Unless a bill shall have
been referred by the parent committee, either directly or through ratifi-
cation of the reference by the chairman, the time requirements of Rule
6.29 shall apply also in subcommittee.

6.49-Reconsideration in Subcommittee
A motion for reconsideration shall be treated in the following manner:
(a) When a question has been decided by a subcommittee, any member
voting with the prevailing side or any member, when the vote was a tie
or by voice, may move for reconsideration instanter or leave the motion
pending. By a two-thirds vote, the subcommittee may take up for imme-
diate disposition any motion to reconsider left pending. The motion to
reconsider may be made at any time during the same meeting prior to the
adoption of a motion to rise or to the subcommittee's rising without
motion upon the time of adjournment having arrived.
(b) A motion to reconsider having been made and left pending, the
motion shall be a special and continuing order of business for the next
succeeding subcommittee meeting and, unless considered at that meeting
on the request of any member of the subcommittee, shall be deemed
abandoned and the subcommittee secretary shall forthwith report the bill
and the action to the parent committee.
(c) A motion to reconsider a collateral matter must be disposed of
during the course of consideration of the main subject to which it is
related.
(d) If the subcommittee shall refuse to reconsider or, upon reconsidera-
tion, shall confirm its prior decision, no further motion to reconsider shall
be in order except upon unanimous consent of the subcommittee mem-
bers present.
(e) During the last five legislative days of a regular session or at any
time during an extended or special session, the motion to reconsider shall
be disposed of when made.
(f) If no motion is made at the meeting when a bill has been considered
and decided, the subcommittee secretary shall forthwith report the bill to
the parent committee for its consideration.

6.50-Requirements for Reporting
It shall be the duty of subcommittees, subject to Rule 6.53, to report
action upon matters referred to them by the parent standing committee.
A subcommittee shall report all bills either (1) favorably, (2) favorably
with subcommittee amendmentss, (3) favorably with subcommittee sub-
stitute, or (4) unfavorably. A motion to lay a bill "on the table" shall be
construed as a motion to report the bill unfavorably.
All subcommittee reports shall be signed by the chairman or, in his
absence, the temporary presiding officer, and shall be made on forms pre-
scribed by the Clerk of the House. Subcommittee reports shall accom-
pany the bill when transmitted to the parent committee and then to the
Clerk of the House as a permanent record.

6.51-Information in Report
Each report of a subcommittee must set forth the identifying number
of the bill; and if amendments are proposed by the subcommittee, the
words "with amendments" shall follow the identifying number. Subcom-

mittee amendments shall be typewritten in full on the prescribed forms,
numbered serially with any title amendment last, and attached to the
bill.

Subcommittee reports shall also reflect (1) the time and place of the
meeting at which the action was taken, (2) the name and address of each
person addressing the subcommittee relative to the bill and, if an agent,
the interest represented, and (3) the vote of each member of the subcom-
mittee on the motion to report the bill.

6.52-Subcommittee Substitute
A subcommittee may, in reporting a bill to the parent standing com-
mittee, draft a new bill, embracing the same general subject matter, to be
returned to the parent standing committee with the recommendation
that the substitute be considered in lieu of the original bill. The substi-
tute bill must be accompanied by the original bill referred to the subcom-
mittee and returned to the parent standing committee in the same
manner as the favorable reporting of any other bill.

6.53-Consideration of Subcommittee Reports
A bill when reported by a subcommittee shall be transmitted to the
parent committee. The chairman of the parent committee shall agenda
the bill with the subcommittee report for a meeting of the parent com-
mittee consistent with time and notice requirements.

Unfavorable Reports
When a bill unfavorably voted by a subcommittee shall, at the request
of its sponsor, be presented to the parent committee, the subcommittee
report may be adopted by a ratifying vote without debate. Failing to
ratify the action of the subcommittee, the parent committee shall take up
the bill upon two-thirds vote for consideration with debate limited to
members of the committee and the sponsor. However, by a two-thirds
vote of the members of the parent committee present, the bill may
receive a hearing de novo and witnesses shall be permitted to testify.

6.54-Oversight Role
In order to assist the House in-
(a) its analysis, appraisal, and evaluation of (1) the application, admin-
istration, execution, and effectiveness of the laws enacted by the Legisla-

state agency and presenting any proposal or recommendation such
agency may have with regard to existing laws or proposed legislation in
its subject area.
(c) In order to carry out its duties each standing or select committee or
subcommittee is empowered with the right and authority to inspect and
investigate the books, records, papers, documents, data, operation, and
physical plant of any public agency in this state.

(d) In order to carry out its duties each standing or select committee
or subcommittee, whenever required, may issue subpoena and other nec-
essary process to compel the attendance of witnesses before such commit-
tee or the taking of a deposition pursuant to Rule 6.56(h). The chairman
of the standing or select committee shall issue said process on behalf of
the standing or select committee or subcommittee thereof. The chairman
or any other member of such committee may administer all oaths and

affirmations in the manner prescribed by law to witnesses who shall

(2) Fails or refuses to answer any relevant question or fails or refuses
to furnish any relevant book, paper or other document subpoenaed by or

tute contempt.
A standing or select committee or subcommittee may, by majority vote
of all of its members, apply to the House for contempt citation. The
application shall be considered as though the alleged contempt had been
committed in or against the House itself. If such committee is meeting
during the interim, its application shall be made to the circuit court pur-
suant to subsection (i)(8) of this Rule.

775.083, or section 775.084, Florida Statutes.

Rights of Witnesses
(i) All witnesses summoned before any standing or select committee or
subcommittee shall receive reimbursement for travel expenses and per
diem at the rates provided in section 112.061, Florida Statutes. However,
the fact that such reimbursement is not tendered at the time the sub-
poena is served shall not excuse the witness from appearing as directed
therein.
(1) Service of a subpoena requiring the attendance of a person at a
meeting of a standing or select committee or subcommittee shall be made
in the manner provided by law for the service of subpoenas in civil action
at least seven calendar days prior to the date of the meeting unless a
shorter period of time is authorized by majority vote of all the members
of such committee. If a shorter period of time is authorized, the persons
subpoenaed shall be given reasonable notice of the meeting, consistent
with the particular circumstances involved.
(2) Any person who is served with a subpoena to attend a meeting of
any standing or select committee or subcommittee also shall be served

standing or select committee or subcommittee, the chairman or in his
absence the vice chairman, shall instruct all witnesses to leave the meet-

committee. No member of such committee or representative thereof may
discuss any matter or matters pertinent to the subject matter under

adjourned and the witness discharged by the chairman. Any person vio-
lating this Rule shall be in contempt of the Legislature.
(4) Any standing or select committee or subcommittee taking sworn
testimony from witnesses as provided herein shall cause a record to be
made of all proceedings, in which testimony or other evidence is
demanded or adduced which record shall include rulings of the chair,
questions of such committee and its staff, the testimony or responses of
witnesses, sworn written statements submitted to the committee and
such other matters as the committee or its chairman may direct.
(5) A witness at a meeting upon his advance request and at his own
expense, shall be furnished a certified transcript of his testimony at the
meeting.

Right of Other Persons to be Heard
(6) Any person whose name is mentioned or who is otherwise identified
during a meeting being conducted for the purpose of taking sworn testi-
mony from witnesses of any standing or select committee or subcommit-
tee and who, in the opinion of such committee, may be adversely affected
thereby, may, upon his request or upon the request of any member of
such committee, appear personally before such committee and testify on
his own behalf, or, with such committee's consent, file a sworn written
statement of facts or other documentary evidence for incorporation into
the record of the meeting. Any such witness, however, shall prior to filing
such statement, consent to answer questions from such committee
regarding the contents of the statement.
(7) Upon the consent of a majority of its members, any standing or
select committee or subcommittee may permit any other person to
appear and testify at a meeting or submit a sworn written statement of
facts or other documentary evidence for incorporation into the record. No
request to appear, appearance or submission shall limit in any way the
committee's power of subpoena. Any such witness, however, shall prior to
filing such statement, consent to answer questions from any standing or
select committee or subcommittee regarding the contents of the state-
ment.

Enforcement of Subpoena Out of Session
(8) Should any witness fail to respond to the lawful subpoena of any
standing or select committee or subcommittee at a time when the Legisla-
ture is not in session or, having responded, fail to answer all lawful inqui-
ries or to turn over evidence that has been subpoenaed, such committee
may file a complaint before any circuit court of the state setting up such
failure on the part of the witness. On the filing of such complaint, the
court shall take jurisdiction of the witness and the subject matter of said
complaint and shall direct the witness to respond to all lawful questions
and to produce all documentary evidence in his possession which is law-
fully demanded. The failure of any witness to comply with such order of
the court shall constitute a direct and criminal contempt of court, and the
court shall punish said witness accordingly.
[Note: For conduct of meetings of investigative committees, see Rule
6.56.]

6.56-Conduct of Meetings of Investigative Committees
Each standing or select committee or subcommittee shall comply with
the following procedures with respect to compelling attendance of wit-
nesses, production of documents or evidence, and the conduct of meet-
ings before such committee.
If any standing or select committee or subcommittee fails in any mate-
rial respect to comply with the requirements of this Rule, any person sub-
ject to subpoena or subpoena duces tecum, who is injured by such failure
shall be relieved of any requirement to attend the meeting for which the
subpoena was issued, or, if present, to testify or produce evidence therein;
and such failure shall be a complete defense in any proceeding against
such person for contempt or other punishment.

In addition to the requirements of Rule 6.55, the following rules of pro-
cedure will be followed at all meetings of standing or select committees
or subcommittees:
(a) A standing or select committee or subcommittee may exercise its
powers during sessions of the Legislature, and in the interim.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

(b) A standing or select committee or subcommittee which conducts
meetings for the purpose of taking sworn testimony from witnesses shall
consist of not less than five members.
(c) A quorum of a standing or select committee or subcommittee which
conducts meetings for the purpose of taking sworn testimony from wit-
nesses shall consist of four or more authorized members, but at no time
less than a majority of the total authorized membership.
(d) No action shall be taken by a standing or select committee or sub-
committee at any meeting unless a quorum is present. Such committees
may act by a majority vote of the members present and voting at a meet-
ing at which there is a quorum, unless the rules or any law require a
greater number or proportion.
(e) Any standing or select committee or subcommittee thereof, when
conducting a meeting for the purpose of taking sworn testimony, shall
give each member of the committee not less than three calendar days
written notice of any meeting to be held when the Legislature is in session
and at least seven calendar days written notice of any meeting to be held
when the Legislature is not in session. Such notices shall include a state-
ment of the subject matter of the meeting.
(f) The presiding member at a meeting may direct a witness to answer
any relevant question or furnish any relevant book, paper or other docu-
ment, the production of which has been required by subpoena duces
tecum. Unless the direction is overruled by a majority vote of the com-
mittee members present, disobedience shall constitute contempt as
defined in Rule 6.55(f).
(g) Before or during a meeting, a witness or his counsel may file with
the standing or select committee or subcommittee, for incorporation into
the record of the meeting, sworn written statements relevant to the pur-
pose, subject matter and scope of the committee's investigation or
inquiry. Any such witness, however, shall prior to filing such statement,
consent to answer questions from such committee regarding the contents
of the statement.
(h) Where the chairman of any committee determines that such proce-
dure would expedite the inquiry or save expenses, the chairman, with the
concurrence of the Speaker, may authorize the conduct of proceedings by
depositions, interrogatories or compulsory production of documents as
provided in this Rule. These proceedings shall be in the nature of state-
ments under oath taken by a state's attorney. Counsel for persons under
investigation may be allowed to attend such depositions at the discretion
of the chairman. Participation by such counsel at the depositions may
also be allowed at the discretion of the chairman. Any requests for
attendance or participation should be addressed to the chairman. If the
requests are denied, a person may appeal the chairman's ruling to the
Speaker but there shall be no stay of proceedings pending such appeal.
Where counsel for persons subject to depositions are allowed to partici-
pate in the proceedings under the guidelines of the committee, testimony
or other evidence taken may be introduced before the committee whether
or not the persons or their counsel avail themselves of the opportunity.
(1) The chairman, with the concurrence of the Speaker, may authorize
a lawyer for the committee to take depositions of witnesses before a court
reporter or notary public of this state. The deposition notice and/or the
subpoena used therewith may identify persons either by name or by job
description and such persons may be required to attend and give testi-
mony pursuant to the guidelines.
(2) The chairman, with the concurrence of the Speaker, may authorize
the issuance of interrogatories to be answered under oath and these shall
require the person to whom they are directed to appear before a notary
public or court reporter and answer the questions under oath. These may
be served by mail or by personal service and shall be answered under oath
no later than seven days from the date of mailing or three days from the
date of personal service. Any interrogatory may require that a person to
whom it is directed (identified by name or job description) return the
interrogatory in the mail or have it available for delivery to the lawyer for
the committee on a date certain.
(3) Should any substantive or procedural question arise during any
proceedings authorized by Rule 6.56(h), the question shall be referred to
the chairman of the committee or to any committee member designated
by the chairman to pass on such questions. Communication shall be made
with the chairman or any designated committee member by the most

rapid available means, including telephone, and the resolution of such
questions, including without limitation questions on the scope of the dis-
covery may be communicated by telephone. If any person is dissatisfied

with such a decision, appeal may be had to the Speaker but there shall
be no stay of proceedings pending such appeal.

Conference Committees

6.57-Conference Committee Membership
The Speaker shall appoint all House managers for conference commit-
tees. He shall determine the number as need appears. He shall appoint
no less than a majority who generally supported the House position as
determined by the Speaker.

6.58-Composition of Conference Committee
A conference committee shall consist of an equal number of managers
from each house. The conference committee shall select one of its mem-
bers to preside. A report shall require the affirmative votes of a majority
of the managers from each house. The report shall be accompanied by the
original bill.

6.59-Presentation of Report
The receiving of conference committee reports shall always be in order
except when the House is voting on any proposition. When a report is
presented to the House, the sequence shall be:
(a) The vote first shall be on whether the report shall be considered at
that moment.
(b) The next vote shall be on acceptance or rejection of the report as
an entirety. The report must be acted upon as a whole, being agreed to
or disagreed to as an entirety.
(c) The final vote shall be a roll call on the passage of the bill as
amended by the conference committee report.
Should either (b) or (c) fail, the report shall be automatically recom-
mitted to the conference committee. In the event of a motion to recon-
sider, the vote first would be on (b) and then on (c).

6.60-Form of Report
In those instances where a conference committee has redrafted a bill,
the committee shall report an amendment striking everything after the
enacting clause, together with an appropriate title amendment if needed.
Each conference report shall be accompanied by a statement, written
or oral, sufficiently explicit to inform the House of the changes in the bill
sent to conference.

6.61-Time Restraints on Conference Committees
After House and Senate managers have been appointed for seven cal-
endar days and have failed to report, it is hereby declared to be a motion
of highest privilege either to move to discharge the House managers and
appoint new House managers or to instruct the House managers.
Provided, however, that during the last six calendar days allowed under
the Constitution for a regular session, it shall be a motion of highest priv-
ilege to discharge, appoint new, or instruct House managers after House
managers shall have been appointed thirty-six hours without having
made a report.

6.62-When Managers Are Unable to Agree
When any bill is referred to a conference committee and the House
managers report inability to agree, no action of the House taken prior to
such reference shall preclude further action by the House as the House
may determine.

"Substantial rewording of section. See s. ..., F.S., for present text." When
such a notation is used, the notation, as well as the substantially
reworded text shall be underlined.
The words to be deleted and the above-described indicators of such
words and of new material are for information and guidance and shall not
be considered to constitute a part of the bill under consideration. Numer-

only on concurrent resolutions after their adoption.

7.8-Filing for Introduction
(a) All bills for introduction shall be delivered to the Clerk of the
House no later than 12:00 noon of the second day (excluding Saturday

consent of two-thirds of those present, the motion for which shall not be
entertained unless the movant thereof shall have first notified the House
orally, not less than thirty minutes preceding the motion, of his intention
to move for the waiver of this Rule so as to have introduced a specific bill
or bills sponsored by him. The adoption of such motion shall be con-
strued as advancing the House to the order of Introduction and Refer-

public, except that reviser's bills shall be printed only upon the order of
the chairman of the Committee on Rules & Calendar. The Clerk shall
have sufficient copies printed for the needs of the House and the public

be independent of the legislative process, and the absence of a printed
copy shall not delay the progress of any bill at any stage of the legislative
process.

7.10-Identification
Bills shall be introduced in the order they are received by the Clerk of
the House and shall be serially numbered as filed. The Clerk shall mark
the original copy of each bill as will insure its identification, and each
page thereof, as the item introduced in order to prevent unauthorized or
improper substitutions therefore. This identification may be by the use of
machines as used in banks for validating or cancelling checks or other
documents, or by the use of any other device to accomplish the purpose
of this Rule. Any such device so used shall be used by and at all times
shall be in the custody of the Clerk and its use by any person not author-
ized by this Rule shall be prohibited.

ing a profiled bill or proposed committee bill (PCB) during the period
when the Legislature is not in session, a notice of such meeting shall be

tion, their contents made available to Members through distribution in

point out technical or mechanical defects.
Staff for the Committee on Appropriations or the Committee on
Finance & Taxation in cooperation with the staff of the Department of
Administration and of other appropriate agencies, shall be responsible for

Committee on Appropriations or by the Committee on Finance & Taxa-
tion without a fiscal note having been prepared, it shall be the right of

If the original bill reported favorably by a committee did not call for
or affect an appropriation or affect a tax matter, and an amendment,
offered either from the floor or by the reporting committee and adopted,
does call for or affect an appropriation or affect a tax matter, then the bill

9.1-Taking the Yeas and Nays
The Speaker shall declare all votes, but if any Member rises to doubt
a vote, upon a showing of hands by five Members, the Speaker shall take
the sense of the House by rising vote, or he may take the sense of the
House by yeas and nays or by oral or electrical roll call. When taking the
yeas and nays on any question, the electrical roll call system may be used,
and when so used shall have the force and effect of a roll call taken as
provided in these Rules. This system likewise may be used to determine
the presence of a quorum. When the House is ready to vote upon a ques-
tion requiring roll call, and the vote is by electrical roll call, the Speaker
shall state: "The question is on (designating the matter to be voted upon).
All in favor of such question shall vote 'Yea,' and all opposed shall vote

upon the Journal the result in the manner provided by these Rules.

9.2-Change of Vote
After the result of a roll call has been announced, a Member may
advise the Clerk of (1) his wish to be recorded as to how he would have

the recording of these actions. When timely made, these requests shall be
shown in the Journal beneath the roll call. Otherwise, the request shall

of a mechanical malfunction, shall the result of the voting machine roll
call on bills be changed.

9.3-No Member to Vote for Another
No Member shall vote for another Member except at his request when
absent from his seat but present elsewhere in the Chamber, nor shall any

10.1-Motions: How Made; Withdrawn
Every motion shall be made orally, provided, that at the request of the
Speaker it shall be reduced to writing. After a motion has been stated or
read by the Speaker it shall be deemed to be in possession of the House,
without a second, and shall be disposed of by vote of the House. The
mover may withdraw a motion at any time before the same has been
amended or before a vote thereon shall have been commenced, except a
motion to reconsider may be withdrawn only on the day made or on the
next succeeding legislative day.

L0.4-Motions Which Can Be Made But Once
Motions to adjourn or recess shall be decided without debate by a
majority vote of those present and voting. Only one substitute for a
motion to adjourn shall be entertained. The substitute motion shall fix a
different time for adjournment, and the same shall be put without
debate, except that one minute shall be allowed the mover of the substi-
tute within which to explain his reasons therefore. The substitute motion
having been lost, the question shall be put on the original motion which
if lost shall preclude any further motion to adjourn until other business
shall have intervened.

10.5-Deleted as Obsolete

10.6-Division of Question
Any Member may call for a division of a question when the sense will
admit of it. A motion to strike out and insert shall be deemed indivisible;
a motion to strike out, being lost, shall neither preclude amendment nor
a motion to strike out and insert.

10.7-Reconsideration: Generally
When a motion or main question has been made and carried or lost it
shall be in order at any time as a matter of right on the same or succeed-
ing legislative day for a Member of the majority, or for any Member in
the case of a voice or tie vote, to move for reconsideration thereof. When
a majority of Members present vote in the affirmative but the proposition
be lost because it is one in which the concurrence of a greater number
than a majority is necessary for adoption or passage, any Member may
move for a reconsideration.
No bill referred to a committee, by a vote of the House, shall be
brought back into the House on a motion to reconsider.

10.8-Reconsideration: Disposition
If a motion to reconsider the vote on a main question is made during
the time when such motion may be considered under the proper daily
order of business it may, at the option of the mover, be decided instanter
or left pending. If it be made at a time when the same may not be prop-
erly considered under the order of business before the House, it shall be
left pending for consideration.
Such motion may be withdrawn on the day made or on the next suc-
ceeding legislative day but not thereafter without the consent of the
majority of the House. If not withdrawn or otherwise acted upon by the
original mover during the day said motion was made or the next succeed-
ing legislative day, any Member may thereafter call it up for consider-
ation.

A motion to reconsider, if made during the last fourteen calendar days
of a regular session, or during extensions thereof, or during any special
session, shall be disposed of when made.

10.10-Reconsideration: Only Once
The motion to reconsider shall require for its adoption the affirmative
votes of a majority of the Members present and voting, and such motion
shall not be made on any proposition after once being considered by vote
of the House except by unanimous consent.

10.11-Reconsideration: When Debate Allowed
Debate shall be allowed on a motion to reconsider only when the ques-
tion which it is proposed to reconsider is debatable. Where debate upon
a motion to reconsider is in order, no Member shall speak thereon more
than once nor for a longer period than five minutes.

10.12-Reconsideration: Collateral Matters
The adoption of a motion to reconsider a vote upon any secondary
matter shall not remove the main subject under consideration from con-
sideration of the House. A motion to reconsider a collateral matter must
be disposed of at once during the course of the consideration of the main
subject to which it is related and such motion shall be out of order after
the House has passed to other business.

local bills and concurrent resolutions and memorials shall be transmitted
to the Senate without delay. Messages relating to House action on Senate
amendments or to conference committee reports shall be transmitted

must be renewed on that day.
The motion for the previous question shall be decided without debate.
If the motion prevails, the sponsor of a bill or debatable motion and an

same, and each may divide his time with, or waive his right in favor of,
some other Member. The motion for the previous question shall be put
in the following form: "Shall the main question be now put?"

on the proposed amendments in the Clerk's possession shall be limited to
three minutes per side. The Clerk shall not receive further proposed

not as Concurrent Resolutions.
3. A recognition ceremony should not include artistic performances or
extended remarks by a member or other person involved in the ceremony.
Artistic performances may be presented in the rotunda when arranged in
coordination with the Sergeant at Arms.

E OF REPRESENTATIVES April 7, 1987

1. For all bills affecting taxes, appropriations or the operation of state
agencies, that the effective date be July 1.
2. For all other general bills, the effective date will be October 1. The
reason for the October 1 effective date is to allow sufficient time to circu-
larize changes in general law to attorneys, governmental subdivisions and
offices, and the public in general.
3. In other respects, the effective date may vary from the above in order
to meet unique specific problems.
Upon acceptance of this report, this letter will be provided to all com-
mittees with the request that committee staff see to it that bills favorably
reported by committees contain appropriate effective dates.

Prime Sponsors and Sponsors

(Report of the Committee on Rules & Calendar)

Your Committee, upon discussion of sponsorship of Committee Substi-
tutes, feels that the Sponsor of a Committee Substitute is the Committee.
The introducer of the original bill, since it is laid upon the table upon
introduction of the Committee Substitute, has no right to move for the
withdrawal of the Substitute from further consideration.
Further, your Committee feels for the purpose of withdrawing bills
from further consideration, the first named Member shall be regarded as
the "Prime Sponsor" and the only Member empowered to move for the
withdrawal of a bill.
In moving for the withdrawal of a bill by floor motion, from further
consideration, the introducer should be required to identify the nature of
the bill so that the Members will not be taken by surprise.

adopted the following policy in regard to material distributed to the gen-
eral membership through the Sergeant at Arms' office and pages.
