The Honorable Bolley L. Johnson June 6, 1994
Speaker, Florida House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In compliance with the provisions of Article III, Section 8(b) of the State
Constitution, I am transmitting to you for consideration of the House the
following 1994 vetoed bills, Regular Session. The Governor's objections are
attached thereto.

The Honorable Jim Smith May 12, 1994
Secretary of State
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 of and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bill 447, enacted during the
96th Session of the Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular
Session of 1994, and entitled:
An act for the relief of Raul Eguaras; providing an appropriation to
compensate him for severe and permanent orthopedic and
neurological injuries sustained due to the negligence of the
Department of Natural Resources; providing an effective date.
Committee Substitute for House Bill 447 would appropriate over
$1,000,000 from the Department of Environmental Protection to
compensate for economic and non-economic damages found by an
arbitration panel. The Special Master for the House of Representatives
concluded that some of the damages suffered by the claimant "appear
inflated and are not supported by the record." The Master, however, felt
restrained from reducing the award of the arbitration panel as the award
was made lump sum and there was no method for determining amounts to
be reduced.
Questions remain outstanding as to whether this case is subject to
admiralty jurisdiction an issue which would have a significant impact on
the state's liability.
Before the expenditure of our very limited state funds is approved, we
must resolve these outstanding issues.

For the reasons set forth above, I am withholding my approval of
Committee Substitute for House Bill 447 and hereby veto the same.
Sincerely,
LAWTON CHILES
Governor

The Honorable Jim Smith
Secretary of State
Dear Secretary Smith:

May 11, 1994

By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 1663, enacted during the 96th Session of the
Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular Session of 1994,
and entitled:
An act relating to the Northern Palm Beach County Water Control
District, Palm Beach County; providing for additional powers of the
district to provide, finance, construct, operate, and maintain
community or public activity, cultural, and educational centers and
facilities, including equipment and apparatus required or related
thereto; providing for financing, construction, operation, and
maintenance of public and/or community or public preserves,
playgrounds, amphitheaters, recreation, and sports areas and
facilities, including equipment and apparatus required or related
thereto; providing for the exclusive use by and benefit to a unit of
development and its owners, residents, and invitees of district
improvements; providing for appointment of an officer or employee to
recommend for adoption district policies and procedures for the
management and operation of the district, including delegation of
enforcement and implementation of the policies and procedures;
providing for adoption, by resolution, of rules and procedures for the
letting of contracts, the costs of which do not exceed the Category 3
amount of s. 287.017, F.S.; deleting the requirement of landowner
consent prior to inclusion of herein-identified lands within a unit of
development for installation of drainage improvements; providing an
effective date.
House Bill 1663 provides for expanded authority of the Northern Palm
Beach County Water Control District to provide, construct, and operate
recreational and community facilities as part of a water management plan
for a unit of development and to provide for the control of access to and
exclusive use of such facilities to the unit of development and its
landowners, residents, or their invitees. The primary function of a water
control district created pursuant to chapter 298, Florida Statutes, is to
effect drainage and reclamation on marginal lands for agricultural
purposes or development. This bill, however, authorizes a water control
district to construct facilities which do not appear to be related to drainage
and reclamation concerns.
Chapter 190, Florida Statutes provides an exclusive and uniform method
for the establishment of community development districts. Water control
districts should not be used to circumvent that established procedure.
Additionally, this bill authorizes the district to construct public-type
facilities that will not be accessible to the general public. It is my view that
public facilities should be accessible to the public.
For the reasons set forth above, I am withholding my approval of House
Bill 1663 and hereby veto the same.
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 of and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bill 2063, enacted during the
96th Session of the Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular
Session of 1994, and entitled:

10

June 7, 1994

An act relating to financial matters of local governments; creating s.
125.0171, F.S.; authorizing counties to contract for audits of persons
who are required to pay any county tax or fee; prescribing guidelines
for such contracts; creating s. 166.271, F.S.; authorizing municipalities
to contract for audits of persons who are required to pay any municipal
tax or fee; prescribing guidelines for such contracts; amending s.
125.66, F.S., allowing charter counties by extraordinary vote to alter
the time for public hearings on land-use ordinances; providing an
effective date.
Committee Substitute for House Bill 2063 authorizes counties and
municipalities to contract with private auditors for purposes of auditing
any county or municipal tax or fee so long as payment to those auditors is
provided on the bases of a flat fee rather than a contingency fee.
In consideration of home rule power vested in local municipalities by
Article VIII of the Florida Constitution, any effort to proscribe such power
must be scrutinized very closely. Currently, there are no statutory
restrictions on the authority of these municipalities to contract for
contingency fee audits of taxes, fees and other assessments imposed by the
respective municipalities.
If this bill is allowed to become law, many of Florida's small and
medium-sized municipalities and counties would likely be restricted in
their ability to conduct such audits because many of these smaller local
governments have neither the expertise nor the resources to routinely pay
accountants to perform these tasks. Contingency fee audits, with the
proper safeguards, can provide local governments with a cost-effective
method of ensuring tax and fee compliance.
For the reasons set forth above, I am withholding my approval of
Committee Substitute for House Bill 2063, and hereby veto the same.

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 of and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 2179, enacted during the 96th Session of the
Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular Session of 1994,
and entitled:
An act relating to Broward County and to Port Everglades District and
to Port Everglades Authority in Broward County; providing
definitions; specifying powers, duties, and obligations of Broward
County as to Port Everglades; clarifying powers, duties, and
obligations of the Cities of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Dania as
to Port Everglades jurisdictional area within their respective
municipal boundaries; providing for construction and implementation
of Broward County's powers, duties, and obligations; incorporating by
reference certain large user wastewater and potable water agreements
between certain cities and the port authority; providing for
compensation; providing for remedies; preserving municipal
boundaries and powers to impose ad valorem taxes; providing
severability; providing for future repeal; providing an effective date.
This bill provides the terms of an interlocal agreement between Broward
County, the Port Everglades Authority, and the Cities of Hollywood, Fort
Lauderdale, and Dania outlining the duties and responsibilities of each
entity respecting the dissolution of the Port Everglades Authority.
The parties have signed an agreement to settle the duties and rights of
each signatory respecting the jurisdiction of the former Everglades Port
Authority. Such agreements between the parties are preferable to a
legislatively imposed solution. The parties have requested a veto to allow
this voluntary settlement to be implemented.
For the reasons set forth above, I am withholding my approval of House
Bill 2179 and hereby veto the same.
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 of and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bill 2195, enacted during the
96th Session of the Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular
Session of 1994, and entitled:
An act for the relief of Dolores DeLucia; providing an appropriation
to compensate her for damages sustained while traveling on a
Metropolitan Dade County bus, resulting from the negligence of
employees of Metropolitan Dade County, a political subdivision of the
State of Florida; providing an effective date.
Committee Substitute for House Bill 2195 provides relief to an
individual for injuries sustained in 1980 during a physical altercation on
a Metropolitan Dade County bus. Although the Legislature is not bound
by the statute of limitations imposed upon it by section 11.065(1), there is
no reasonable justification for the delay in seeking this claim.
At the Special Master's hearing, the claimant was unable to specify what
her injuries were or how her medical bills were paid. Metropolitan Dade
County has already paid $100,000 of the total claim.
No evidence has been produced to substantiate a claim for $13,500 in
additional medical and dental bills claimed at the hearing before the
Special Master.
For the reasons set forth above, I am withholding my approval of
Committee Substitute for House Bill 2195 and hereby veto the same.
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 of and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 2205, enacted during the 96th Session of the
Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular Session of 1994,
and entitled:
An act relating to the Melbourne-Tillman Drainage District, Brevard
County; renaming the district as the Melbourne-Tillman Water
Control District; providing an effective date.
The substance of House Bill 2205 was enacted by a companion Senate
Bill 2946, which became law on May 6, 1994. The title of House Bill 2205
contains a possible defect; therefore, in order to ensure that the house bill
cannot be construed to supplant Senate Bill 2946, I am withholding my
approval of House Bill 2205, and hereby veto the same.

Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular Session of 1994,
and entitled:
An act relating to the South Indian River Water Control District, Palm
Beach County; amending chapter 71-820, Laws of Florida; authorizing
the Board of Supervisors of the South Indian River Water Control
District to receive real and personal property for recreational purposes
for land within the District lying East of Canal 18 of the South Florida

Water Management District only; authorizing the Board of
Supervisors to lease or make available facilities or grounds owned by
the District to public-spirited organizations; providing an effective
date.
House Bill 2235 provides for expanded authority of the South Indian
River Water Control District to accept lands and personal property and to
use or lease such property for recreational purposes. A chapter 298, F.S.,
water control district, such as this, is created for the primary purpose of
effecting drainage and reclamation on marginal lands for agricultural
purposes or development. This bill, however, extends the function of this
district to provide for recreational facilities, which does not appear to be
related to drainage and reclamation concerns.
Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, provides an exclusive and uniform
method for the establishment of community development districts. Water
control districts should not be used to circumvent that established
procedure.
Additionally, this bill authorizes the district to make the facilities
available solely for the use of the landowners. It is my view that public
recreational facilities should be accessible to the public.
For the reasons set forth above, I am withholding my approval of House
Bill 2235 and 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 of and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 2291, enacted during the 96th Session of the
Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular Session of 1994,
and entitled:
An act relating to St. Lucie County; amending chapter 89-475, Laws
of Florida; providing nonprobationary status for certain employees of
St. Lucie County Sheriff; specifying rights of such employees;
providing procedures for appeal of disciplinary actions and complaints
against employees of the sheriff; providing for appointment of boards
to hear appeals and procedures with respect thereto; providing an
effective date.
House Bill 2291 would remove the existing power of the St. Lucie County
Sheriff's Career Service Appeal Board to review and, if necessary, correct
personnel actions brought under the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office rules
or policies which result in dismissal, suspension, demotion or reduction in
pay of certain employees of the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office. I
understand that the current law has worked well and there is little evidence
that a change is necessary or warranted. Moreover, I recently signed into
law House Bill 1165 which authorizes the establishment of appeal boards
on a statewide basis to review and decide certain cases involving personnel
disputes between county sheriffs and their employees. Since the
Legislature decided as a matter of statewide policy that the decision of
these appeal boards would be final, I do not think it is appropriate to
remove this power to render a final, binding decision from the St. Lucie
County Sheriff's Career Service Appeal Board and place it entirely with the
sheriff.
For the reasons set forth above, I am withholding my approval of House
Bill 2291 and hereby veto the same.

Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 2643, enacted during the 96th Session of the
Legislature since Statehood in 1845, during the Regular Session of 1994,
and entitled:
An act relating to public records and proceedings; providing for
exempting certain proceedings and documents connected to such
proceedings from ss. 119.07(1) and 286.011, F.S., and s. 24(a) and (b),
Art. I of the State Constitution; providing for future review; providing
legislative findings of public necessity; providing an effective date.
House Bill 2643 contains exemptions to the public records and open
meetings laws in instances relating to the investigation and examination
of money transmitters. Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 2350, the
companion to House Bill 2643 was also passed by the Legislature. The
Senate bill addressed two additional public records issues. In order to
ensure that Senate Bill 2350 is clearly recognized as the controlling law, I
have found it advisable to veto House Bill 2643.

Baruch a ta Adonai Elohenu, melech ha'olam, asher kedashanu bamitzvo

Lord, help us live from day to day,
In such a self-forgetful way;
That even when we bow to pray,
Our prayers shall be for others.
Help us in all the work we do,
To ever be sincere and true;
And know that we do for You,
Must needs be done for others.
And when our work on earth is done,
And our new work in heaven's begun;
May we forget the crown we've won,
While thinking still of others.
Others, Lord, yes others,
Let this our motto be;
Help us to live for others,
That we may live like Thee. Amen.

Disclosures of Interest
(Memoranda received by the Clerk, June 7, 1994)
As you may be aware, HBs 29-D, 65-D and 83-D have been filed for the
Special Session which the Governor has called commencing today. The
Governor's Proclamation includes "amendments to Florida law relating to
health care services and to the health care system." These bills are
sponsored by Representative Graber, Chairman of the Committee on
Health Care, Representative Cosgrove, Chairman of the Committee on
Insurance, and Representative Tobin, Chairman of the Committee on
Business & Professional Regulation.
These bills, as filed, primarily consist of the health care bill (Part I) as
passed by the House during the Regular Session (CS/HB 2823, 1st
Engrossed) and the health care professional regulation legislation (Part II)
which was also passed by the House during the Regular Session (CS/HB
2413, 1st Engrossed). In preparing these bills for introduction, House Bill
Drafting has made several technical changes to the bill (i.e., placing all
statutory references in numerical order; deleting provisions that passed the
Legislature and became law in other bills; consolidating statutory sections
that were amended multiple times; etc.). In preparing for the Special
Session, it was the intent of the sponsors for the House to be able to resume
its work on health care where it stopped when the 1994 Regular Session
adjourned. Accordingly, no substantive changes were made to the House's
workproduct from the Regular Session, in these areas, with one exception.
HBs 65-D and 83-D also include provisions to repeal the provisions of SB
2110 from the 1994 Regular Session relating to Medicaid third party
liability.

It has come to my attention that a section in these bills authorizes
regulatory boards of health care practitioners to authorize legislative
service to count toward continuing education requirements, as determined
by the applicable board. This section of these bills originated in
Representative Tobin's committee and was a part of CS/HB 2413, 1st
Engrossed (section three). As you know, I am a licensed physician in

Florida. Therefore, I have, arguably, a private or professional interest
which inures to my special private gain under Rule 5.11. In accordance with
Rule 5.11, I hereby disclose the existence of such interest.
Rep. Robert K. Casey
District 22
As you may be aware, I have filed HB 29-D, HB 65-D, and HB 83-D for
the Special Session which the Governor has called commencing today. The
Governor's Proclamation includes "amendments to Florida law relating to
health care services and to the health care system." These bills are co-
sponsored by Representative Cosgrove, Chairman of the Committee on
Insurance, and Representative Tobin, Chairman of the Committee on
Business & Professional Regulation.
These bills, as filed, primarily consist of the health care bill (Part I) as
passed by the House during the Regular Session (CS/HB 2823, 1st

Drafting has made several technical changes to the bills (i.e., placing all

health care where it stopped when the 1994 Regular Session adjourned.
Accordingly, we made no substantive changes to the House's workproduct
from the Regular Session, in these areas, with one exception in HB 65-D
