Bill Summary Council Member Crescimbeni explained the need for an
Attorney General’s opinion on the possibility for extending the local option
gas tax. The Florida League of Cities

option taxes. Council Member Holt
requested that the Attorney General also be asked to what uses the local
option gas tax may be put, particularly if it can be used for dredging of
waterways into which public roads drain. AMEND/APPROVE
