Additionally, an electronic version of the local bill must be emailed in PDF format to Kathleen.Elrod@FLHouse.gov All proposals for a local bill are expected to be presented at the hearing and must be drafted in bill form. Unless there is an emergency, the Delegation will consider for introduction only those bill that have been presented at the hearing. Decisions on whether to introduce local legislation will be made at the hearing.
If the local Legislative Delegation agrees to support the bill and introduce the bill, a legal advertisement of the proposed bill must be placed in a newspaper of general circulation 30 days prior to introduction in the House or Senate unless the bill contains a referendum provision. The local entity requesting the proposed bill will be responsible for placing the legal advertisement in news media.
According to sections 11.021 and 11.03, Florida Statutes, evidence that notice has been properly published must be submitted before a local bill, not subject to referendum, can be introduced. The notice must be broad enough to include all matters contained in the body of the proposed legislation, although the specific contents need not be listed in detailed form. The function of the notice requirement is to provide reasonable notice to a person whose interests may be directly impacted by the proposed legislation so that they may inquire further into the details of the local bill. Additionally, if they so desire, that person may seek to prevent enactment or to persuade the Legislature to change the substance of the proposed bill.
