Communications

Vetoed Bills
The following veto messages were received:

4 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

The Honorable Jim Smith May 29, 1991
Secretary of State
Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article IH, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bill 95, enacted by the 93rd
Regular Session since statehood in 1845, convened under the Constitution
of 1968, during the Regular session of 1991, and entitled:
An act relating to substance abuse punishment; amending s.
921.187, F.S.; authorizing specified substance abuse punishment
programs as sentencing alternatives for certain felony drug
possessors and felony drug sellers, manufacturers, and deliverers;
amending s. 893.15, F.S., and creating s. 893.155, F.S.; providing
for placement on probation with set conditions; authorizing
residential supervision in a probation and restitution center or
other specified residential facility in certain circumstances;
authorizing the withholding of adjudication for first-time felony
drug possessors; providing penalties for violation of probation;
providing for fines; providing for reports; creating circuit
correctional planning committees; providing an effective date.
Committee Substitute for House Bill 95 provides for an array of
discretionary sentencing options for drug offenders. For first time and
repeat offenders, the bill provides for a mandatory scheme which a court
must follow if it sentences a drug offender to probation for possession, sale,
purchase, manufacture or delivery of certain controlled substances. These
mandatory provisions include fines, specific periods of probation and
community service, specific terms of substance abuse education, random
drug testing, participation in self-help groups and, in some cases,
mandatory sentences to be served at state probation and restitution
centers. The length of time for the substance abuse education, time served
in probation and restitution centers, community service and other
punishments are tied strictly to the number of prior offenses.
All of the alternatives provided in the bill for those who violate the drug
laws for possession, sale, manufacture or delivery are currently available
for the court to use when sentencing offenders. However, now, the court
has the discretion on a case-by-case basis to extend or limit the conditions
of probation for drug offenders, and to appropriately set the sentence to
fit the crime. To impose a list of minimum mandatory punishments,
programs or hours to be completed is to unacceptably tie the hands of the
courts and risk public safety.
This bill also imposes mandatory punishments which may be
appropriate to some offenders in some parts of the state, but, for example,
may be too lenient for others. The judges, working in conjunction with the
other members of the criminal justice system, are best equipped to
sentence offenders on an individual basis, and should not be dictated to by
the state.
I am also concerned about the possible waste of state resources if drug
offenders do not need to serve the length or type of sentence the bill
mandates. The public would be better served to have those who need drug
treatment and supervision receive it than to have people who do not need
it tie up our state facilities and probation personnel.
Another problem I see is that this bill allows for the creation of circuit
correctional planning committees. This is in addition to the county
correctional planning committees already established in s. 951.26, F.S., and
is clearly redundant to the functions of those committees and the current
statute. If the counties within a circuit wished to form such a committee
and assist offenders in obtaining employment, on a circuit-wide basis, they
could cooperate and do so now under current law.
Not all drug sellers or manufacturers are substance abusers, and are
instead dealing in drugs for financial gain. Therefore, I am troubled by the

imposition of drug treatment and testing on these sellers and
manufacturers who may not be addicted or who may need more restrictive
forms of probation supervision than are provided for here. Once more,
through its mandatory sentencing and program aspects, this bill ties the
hands of judges and does not best serve the public's safety interests.

E OF REPRESENTATIVES

June 6, 1991

Finally the bill provides for mandatory lenths of stay for offenders in the
Department's probation and restitution centers. The mandatory length of
stay ranges from a minimum of 90 to 360 days. This approach could cost
the state thousands of dollars as it severely restricts the use of the
probation and restitution centers for prison diversions. Once more, we need
to consider the cost to the public and emphasize the appropriate sentencing
of probationers a case-by-case basis, and not whole cloth as this bill
proposes we do.
This bill has admirable goals of helping offenders obtain jobs and
encouraging drug treatment, self-help program participation, drug testing
and community service for drug offenders. However, because the state can
impose these sanctions now, and as the decisions regarding the conditions
of probation should be made on a local level, I am withholding my approval
of Committee Substitute for House Bill 95 and do hereby veto the same.
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely,
LAWTON CHILES

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bill 193, enacted by the 93rd
Regular Session since statehood in 1845, convened under the Constitution
of 1968, during the Regular Session of 1991, and entitled:
An act relating to games of chance; amending s. 849.0935, F.S.;
providing definitions; authorizing certain organizations to
conduct drawings by chance or raffles; authorizing requirement of
payment of a fee or contribution; specifying use of proceeds;
requiring maintenance of records; providing for inspection of
records; limiting individuals who may participate in the conduct
of games; prohibiting compensation to persons conducting such
games; prohibiting use of mechanical or electrical devices or
media; prohibiting drawings contingent on other contests;
providing a conditional effective date.
Committee Substitute for House Bill 193 would have allowed charitable,
non-profit or veterans' organizations to conduct drawings which amount
to lotteries.
Article X, Section 7, of the Florida Constitution prohibits the kind of
non-state run lottery which this bill would have allowed. A joint resolution
to effectuate an amendment to our Constitution allowing these lotteries
was not passed by the Legislature. Without passage of a constitutional
amendment, this bill is unnecessary.
I am therefore withholding my approval of Committee Substitute for
House Bill 193 and do hereby veto the same.
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely,
LAWTON CHILES

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bill 359, enacted by the 23rd
Regular Session since the Constitution of 1968, during the Regular Session
of 1991, and entitled:

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSI

An act relating to firearms; creating s. 790.054, F.S., authorizing
correctional probation officers to carry concealed firearms upon
meeting certain requirements; exempting such officers from
certain licensing and penal provisions; amending s. 843.025, F.S.;
making unlawful depriving a correctional officer of his weapon or
radio under certain circumstances; providing penalties; providing
an effective date.
Committee Substitute for House Bill 359 would have authorized a
correctional probation officer to carry a concealed firearm at that officer's
discretion. I wholeheartedly support the ability of a correctional probation
officer to defend himself or herself. However, if that officer wishes to use
a firearm for self-defense, the grant of permission and authority to carry
that concealed firearm must reside in the Department of Corrections, not
the individual officer. The Department of Corrections is responsible for
overseeing the activities and responsibilities of its employees, as well as
assuring their safety. It, therefore, must have the ability to direct and allow
the use of a weapon as dangerous as a firearm.
The Department of Corrections has adopted rules and policies to govern
the granting of permission for correctional probation officers to carry
concealed firearms. As the need to protect our correctional probation
officers is great, and one of which we must all be assured, I am asking the
Department to review its rules and policies to see if they need to be
strengthened or improved to increase the ability of an officer to defend
himself or herself on the job.
Further, the bill goes far beyond the goal of correctional probation
officers' self-defense, and the duties of probation officers, when it allows
the officer to carry a weapon under a "reasonable belief' that the use of a
firearm is necessary to "prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to
himself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible
felony..." Protecting others from harm and preventing the commission of
forcible felonies are but some of the duties and responsibilities of trained
and commissioned law enforcement officers, not correctional probation
officers.
Therefore, I am withholding my approval of Committee Substitute for
House Bill 359 and do hereby veto the same.
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely,
LAWTON CHILES

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 633, enacted by the 93rd Regular Session since
statehood in 1845, convened under the Constitution of 1968, during the
Regular Session of 1991, and entitled:
An act relating to federal liens; creating the Florida Uniform
Federal Lien Registration Act; specifying applicability; providing
for filing of notices of federal liens, certificates, and other notices
affecting federal liens; specifying duties of the Secretary of State
and the clerks of the circuit courts; providing for fees; providing
for uniformity of construction; providing for an effective date.
House Bill 633 would adopt the Uniform Federal Lien Registration Act,
the provisions of which designate the place in Florida where federal liens
are to be filed. Federal liens on real property would be filed with the clerk
of the circuit court in the county where the property is located and federal
liens on personal property, with some exceptions, would be filed with the
Secretary of State.
I support the substance of this legislation and regret that I must object
to House Bill 633 on the basis that the Legislature has failed to create

sufficient positions so that the Department of State has the personnel to
perform its duties under the act.

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 653, enacted by the 93rd Regular Session since
statehood in 1845, convened under the Constitution of 1968, during the
Regular Session of 1991, and entitled:
An act for the relief of Edith and Lewis Crosley, parents of Todd
Patrick Neely; providing an appropriation to compensate them
for losses incurred in defense of their son, unjustly arrested and
convicted on the basis of evidence suppressed by the state;
providing an effective date.
House Bill 653 is a claim bill to compensate Edith and Lewis Crosley,
parents of Todd Patrick Neely for expenses incurred in defense of their son
who was convicted of burglary and attempted first degree murder. After
the trial it was discovered that the prosecutor had failed to disclose
evidence of another suspect whose name surfaced in police canvass reports.
After the trial judge denied a motion for a new trial, the District Court of
Appeal ordered a new trial, thereupon the State Attorney dismissed the
action based upon his conclusion that the state could not meet the burden
of providing the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in light of the
conflicting testimony.
Todd Neely filed a motion for sanctions against the State Attorney based
upon a willful violation of the rules of discovery. The court granted the
motion and entered a final judgment awarding Neely $157,455.51 against
the State Attorney for the Nineteenth Circuit. This amount is comprised
of $138,087.41 attorneys fees and $102,868.10 costs, less $12,500.00 which
had been paid by Martin County for costs and less $71,000.00 which had
been received as voluntary contributions by the public. Since the time the
bill was heard by the Special Masters for the House and Senate, the
settlement of a suit pending against the State Attorney resulted in the
payment of another $100,000.00 by the State Attorney. To date, the family
has been compensated $257,455.51 from the State Attorney's Office and
$12,500.00 by Martin County, a total of $269,955.51, and has received
public contributions of $71,000.00 (or a total of $340,955.51).
Damages claimed through this relief bill include:
$ 32,581 Attorneys fees incurred but not "available" at time of
sanctions hearing
15,478 Attorneys fees incurred subsequent to hearing
17,311 Costs incurred but not presented at hearing
1,871 Costs incurred subsequent to hearing

While I empathize with this family and greatly respect the devotedness
of these parents to go to such extents to see that their son was exonerated
and that justice prevailed, and while I condemn the wrongful actions found
to have been committed by the assistant state attorney charged with
prosecuting this case, I find that I must object to the payment of this
additional $250,000 claim for the following several reasons.
First, the purpose of a claim bill is to compensate a person who has
suffered damages "...but who is without a judicial remedy or who is not
otherwise legally compensable." Legislative Claim Bills, The Florida Bar
Journal, D. Stephen Kahn (1988). With regard at least to attorneys fees

June 6, 1991

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

and costs, a legal remedy was available and was employed through the
imposition of sanctions against the Office of the State Attorney. While a
civil rights action against the State Attorney has been settled, Todd
Neely's attorney has expressed his intent to file a civil rights action against
the Sheriff. With the exception of this case, the Legislature has steadfastly
adhered to its policy that a claim bill is premature when a claimant has not
first exhausted all legal remedies. This is a wise and fiscally sound policy
which should not be abrogated because a case becomes particularly
notorious.
Second, and closely related, we must not lose site of the fact that the
purpose of a claims bill is to compensate a claimant for damages and it is
not designed to impose penalties on the governmental entity that caused
a person to incur damages. This is another reason why exhaustion of legal
remedies is crucial. Monetary sanctions have been imposed by the court,
such sanctions representing a form of penalty imposed by the court for
violation of its rules. The assistant state attorney is currently undergoing
disciplinary proceedings instigated by the Florida Bar. The State Attorney
has had complaints filed against him with my office, and these complaints
are currently undergoing investigation by my legal staff. If malfeasance,
misfeasance, neglect of duty or other constitutional ground is found to have
been committed, the State Attorney is subject to suspension and removal
from office. These are the penalties appropriate for such misconduct. In
addition, upon proof of violation of a person's civil rights, other monetary
damages are available through the appropriate legal process. The effect of
this bill will be to penalize the citizens of the Nineteenth Circuit who
expect that crimes committed in their circuit will be prosecuted and that
the many other services, such as victim-witness services, will be provided,
as well as to penalize the many employees of the State Attorney's Office
who have served the public honorably and who were in no way involved in
the impropriety, by increasing their case loads, increasing the vacancy
periods in needed attorney and support staffing levels, and decreasing any
likelihood of training, promotions, or other benefits.
Third, the bill imposes the full amount of the claim on the budget of the
Office of the State Attorney, but the degree of culpability of that office
appears to be in question. The bill itself directs the State Attorney to seek
reimbursement from Martin County for up to one-half the amount of the
claim, although leaves such payment in the full discretion of the County.
The forthcoming suit against the Sheriff suggests that the County may in
fact share some amount of the liability for these damages. Prior to the
result of this suit and my findings after investigation, it appears premature
to assess this expense against any one particular party.
Fourth, I question whether some of the damages claimed are an
appropriate use of scarce public funds. For example, the Crosley's have
claimed $60,000 for the support of their son for a period of four years, some
of which time the record shows Todd Neely was employed, and $67,241 for
attorneys fees and costs which were not brought before the court in a
request for sanctions.
Finally, both the Senate and the House Special Masters, who are charged
with hearing these claims and researching the appropriate legal matters,
recommended against payment of this claim. Their reasons include the
following cogent considerations: (1) that the judgment as to what
sanctions should be applied for the breach of judicial rules belongs
exclusively to the judicial branch, and (2) that unless the Legislature
chooses to adopt a policy for the reimbursement of all voluntary actions
taken on behalf of accused persons who are discharged or acquitted, it
appears inequitable to compensate this lone case out of the many who find
themselves in a position which requires them to expend vast amounts of
money for their defense.

Dear Secretary Smith:

By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 1605, enacted by the 93rd Regular Session since
statehood in 1845, convened under the Constitution of 1968, during the
Regular Session of 1991, and entitled:
An act relating to the Indian Trail Water Control District, Palm
Beach County, created by chapter 57-646, Laws of Florida;
granting additional powers to the district to construct, maintain,
and operate recreational areas, facilities, and programs; to
construct and maintain a system of street lighting; to construct
and maintain facilities for and take measures to control
mosquitoes and other arthropods; to acquire, construct, and
maintain conservation areas and sanctuaries for the storage of
water for water control and irrigation purposes and for
preservation of wildlife; to purchase, acquire by gift, or otherwise
obtain land for the purpose of constructing capital improvements;
to finance costs through user fees; to appoint advisory boards; to
require permits for connection to and use of a district property;
providing an effective date.
Water control districts were created for the single purpose of draining
and managing surface waters and shallow surficial groundwater levels;
their powers in effecting this purpose are limited to drainage, protection
and reclamation of areas within their boundaries.
House Bill 1605 expands the power of the Indian Trail Water Control
District, an independent special district within Palm Beach County, by
granting the District the authority to operate, construct and maintain
recreational facilities, street lighting, conservation areas and insect control
facilities. Furthermore, the district may acquire land for capital
improvements, adopt user fees, appoint landowners to advisory boards and
committees, and grant permits for structures connecting to works of the
district and assess permit fees.
I recognize that in the past, a large number of water control districts have
expanded their original jurisdiction into many other areas through
enactment of special acts of the Legislature. I object, however, to this
manner of creating what is in effect a Chapter 190 community development
district by avoiding the controls and regulations that govern CDD's. The
types of development activities authorized by House Bill 1605 are not now
appropriate under the general statutory purposes expressed within
Chapter 298 for water control districts. Section 190.005 (3), Florida
Statutes, established a procedure for the reestablishment of a district such
as a water control district, as a CDD. If the residents within a water control
district desire to expand the district into a CDD, then it should become a
CDD, not remain a water control district with the power of a CDD.
It is my understanding that the House Community Affairs Committee
is conducting an interim study on this very issue and that the Legislature
will address the propriety of expanding the authority of water control
districts and other special districts by passage of special acts in its next
regular session. Prudence dictates that these conclusions be made before,
not after, expanding the powers of more special districts.

I am therefore withholding my approval of House Bill 653 and do hereby I am therefore withholding my approval of House Bill 1605 and do

With kind regards, I am

By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 1809, enacted by the 93rd Regular Session since
statehood in 1845, convened under the Constitution of 1968, during the
Regular Session of 1991, and entitled:
An act relating to elections; amending s. 100.371, F.S.; requiring
the sponsor to certify that no per-signature fee has been paid to
any person for signing an initiative petition; providing an effective
date.
House Bill 1809 would require that the sponsor of an initiative petition
for amendment to the Florida Constitution, submit an affidavit with each
petition to be verified, which certifies that no per-signature fee was paid
to any person by or on behalf of the sponsor for obtaining the signature.
I object to this additional burden that would be placed upon a person
who wishes to propose a constitutional amendment to the citizens of this
state. I am unaware of any abuse of the current initiative petition
procedure that would warrant more stringent regulation. Further, the
sponsor of an initiative petition would often not be possessed of the
personal knowledge regarding how signatures were obtained in order that
he or she in good faith could execute an affidavit stating that no per-
signature fee was paid. In practice, initiative petitions are printed in
magazines, trade publications and newspapers; they are gathered at civic
functions, trade meetings and churches. A sponsor is often presented by
mail with large envelopes full of executed petitions and can have no basis
for swearing under oath as to the particulars of their execution.
House Bill 1809 represents a remedy without a problem. I trust the
citizens of this state to wisely exercise their authority and duty in voting
on initiative petitions based on the substance of the proposed
constitutional amendment. I find no need to make the procedure for
presenting such questions to the people more difficult.
I am therefore withholding my approval of House Bill 1809 and do
hereby veto the same.

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 2315, enacted by the 93rd Regular Session since
statehood in 1845, convened under the Constitution of 1968, during the
Regular Session of 1991, and entitled:
An act relating to Manatee County; consolidating the Oneco-
Tallevast Fire Control District and the Samoset Fire Control
District into the Southern Manatee Fire and Rescue District and
creating a board of commissioners of the new district; providing
for election of board members; providing for impact fees;
providing a schedule of special assessments; providing
consolidation; repealing chapter 84-477, Laws of Florida, as
amended, relating to the Oneco-Tallevast Fire Control District;
repealing chapter 84-481, Laws of Florida, as amended, relating
to the Samoset Fire Control District; providing an effective date.
House Bill 2315 consolidates the Oneco-Tallevast Fire Control District
and the Samoset Fire Control District into the Southern Manatee Fire and
Rescue District and repeals the special acts which created the original fire
control districts. Special districts have no powers except those conferred
by law. Unfortunately, since the initial acts were repealed and House Bill
2315 does not provide for many of the necessary powers of the district,
upon this bill becoming law, the Manatee Fire and Rescue District would
have no authority to fight fires, no personnel, no ability to expend funds,
uncertain governance, and great potential liability.
I am aware that the district is depending on the special assessment
increase contained in the bill to fund their budget; however, the technical
errors contained in House Bill 2315 would create problems even more
severe than the inability to increase the District's revenues.
I am therefore withholding my approval of House Bill 2315 and do
hereby veto the same.

Base as an active military base and to remove the base from the
preliminary list of military bases under consideration to be closed by
Congress.
WHEREAS, Homestead Air Force Base is located in the City of

employers, paying $152 million to 8,700 civilian and military workers and
purchasing $40.7 million in equipment and supplies in 1990, and
WHEREAS, Homestead Air Force Base supports a population of 12,125,
6,000 of which live on base and 6,125 of which live off base, and
