DISP-REMANDED (FIS-ADV OPIN)
|
|
The Court finds that the first and third sentences in the financial impact statement do not comply with section 100.371(6), Florida Statutes, as amended by chapter 2004-33, section 3, Laws of Florida. Due to the use of the word "could" in the first sentence, the financial impact of the amendment is not expressed in terms of the "probable financial impact." Further, because the financial impact is expressed in terms of average cost savings "per Florida household" in the third sentence, the financial impact statement goes beyond addressing "revenues or costs to state or local governments." The Court remands the statement to the Financial Impact Estimating Conference ("Conference") for redrafting pursuant to section 100.371(6)(d)(1). In submitting any redraft, we direct the attention of both the Conference and the Attorney General to the time constraints in amended section 100.371(6)(b)(4). NO MOTION FOR REHEARLING WILL BE ALLOWED (TREATED AS OPINION MATERIAL SEE OPINIONS BY QUINCE AND WELLS)
