The Committee Chair, Jack
Webb, called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m.
He asked Ms. Norsworthy to take everyone through the marked agenda
containing the suggested committee actions.
Changes, additions, and
comments concerning the agenda as marked included:
08-659 The Chair indicated
that the bill will be deferred
08-839 Legal staff requested
deferral to allow time for review, with C/M Yarborough expressing some concern since he, as a sponsor, had not
been apprised of the request and since the Office
of General Counsel had drafted this bill and filed it in September; the Chair determined that the need for deferral would
be discussed in committee.
08-908 It was stated that
this legislation pertains to the Florida-Georgia football game
08-925 The addition of this
bill to the agenda for emergency consideration was noted
Discussion followed
concerning the J-bills. Two of them are
to be considered for introduction by the Rules Committee, while a third bill
with other sponsorship has already been introduced (08-905). Mr. John Keane, Police and Fire Pension Fund,
explained that J-bill introduction has not been a problem in the past and he
inquired as to any change in procedure.
The Chair advised that the committee will vote today, and that he saw no
problem with the bills being introduced.
The meeting was adjourned at
9:41 a.m.
