Bypassing these provisions compromises the right changes to current Florida law. of the residents to express their wishes regarding the district’s Board of Supervisor membership and manner of election. As would be expected, a bill of this size and complexity brings forth concerns. For one, the sheer range of issues addressed in Council For this reason, I am withholding my approval of House Bill 863, and do Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill 1053 provides a hereby veto the same. textbook example of logrolling, the kind that makes it difficult to provide Sincerely, Floridians with good, sound public policy. Often during the legislative JEB BUSH process, issues are amended onto a bill that are not totally in keeping Governor with the bill’s original purpose, but are sufficiently related so as to not violate the Constitution’s single subject rule. In my view, the diversity The Honorable Katherine Harris June 8, 2001 and sheer number of issues contained in Council Substitute for Secretary of State Committee Substitute for House Bill 1053 goes beyond what has been marginally accepted in the past, and leaves the legislation vulnerable to Dear Secretary Harris: legal challenges by aggrieved stakeholders, forcing the state into costly By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the and unnecessary litigation. provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of Florida, I do As to the content of Council Substitute for Committee Substitute for hereby withhold my approval of and transmit to you with my objections, rd House Bill 1053 itself, the bill does contain several good proposals, such House Bill 931, enacted during the 103 Session of the Legislature, as the waiver of fees for Pearl Harbor Survivor and Purple Heart license since statehood in 1845, during the Regular Session of 2001, and plate holders, the creation of a Turnpike Enterprise to oversee Florida entitled: Turnpike operations, and allowing Department of Transportation An act relating to Coral Springs Improvement District, Broward employees to essentially become private contractors and bid on County;...

Among the provisions that concern me are members and changes the manner in which the supervisors are elected. increases in fees for motorists, legislation that I vetoed last year relating General law, section 189.4051(2)(a), Florida Statues, sets out the to driving schools, the relaxing of penalties for unsafe drivers, the procedure for changing special district board membership from three to increased regulation of motorized scooters, the watering down of five members and for changing the manner in which the supervisors are property rights despite other provisions in the bill that strengthened the elected, and this procedure includes the requirement for a public rights of property owners, and allowing third party access to referendum and a petition signed by ten percent of the qualified electors confidential auto insurance coverage information.
