Court this morning. 150 March 10, 1998 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 151

We went to the Supreme Court this morning, not because we felt we The final legislative vote in every body, in every one of the states, needed to be there, but because the Governor felt that we needed to be including the body of Congress in Washington, has the final say on every there because he was concerned about the actions that we had taken in piece of legislation before it becomes law. And that is by some respect to the veto overrides. We were there at the Court’s request on extraordinary vote, whatever that may be and whatever that is defined, our motion to continue this proceeding until the conclusion of the has the opportunity to override any veto of another branch. Then I Legislature, so that we could get back to doing the business of the believe the courts eventually can say whether or not the particular Florida House of Representatives. legislation is valid or not, but that shouldn’t take place until we’ve I feel that we made the points that we intended to make in the oral totally and fully done our duty, and that is to vote the way we see fit. arguments. I’m proud of Representative Villalobos and Representative And as I announced in November, I did not feel that those issues Warner for the excellent skill they showed in arguing before the should come before us. It certainly would have made a very difficult Supreme Court. I think every Member of this body ought to be proud of session even more difficult, and I did not want to do anything from lethal the Speaker for taking the position he’s taken and for the integrity of injection to overrides to meat inspectors. I didn’t want to do any of that. this Legislature in respect to the separation of powers. I wanted to focus on the one thing we came here to focus on, which was This is not a battle with the Governor. This is, again, as we said on the a tightly construed and tightly drawn special session dealing with school floor, we believe, our ability to move forward with legislation in a construction and school overcrowding. We did that. But I think at the manner prescribed by the Constitution of the State of Florida. That’s end I made it clear, as was pointed out in the Court, that we did plan to what we argued before the Court. The Court was very receptive to our retain those veto messages and take them up at a future date. We did argument. We await to hear the Supreme Court’s decision. that in an orderly manner, and I think we’ve acted very responsibly as a House. Speaker Webster: Representative Villalobos. Thank you for your indulgence, and now it’s time to get back to the Rep. Villalobos: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, want to join in business of the House. Sorry for the inconvenience that we have gone thanking you for the privilege of giving Representatives Thrasher and Warner and myself the opportunity to go over to the Court. This is an through. issue that I believe raises several constitutional issues, and obviously we weren’t over there discussing the merits of the case. There will be an Daily Folder appropriate time to do that. But I believe that the institution of the House has certain constitutional duties, and that is the point that we’re General Calendar trying to make over there. And Mr. Speaker, it was certainly very interesting. I think the arguments on both sides were very valid, and I, Bills and Joint Resolutions on Third Reading too, await the response of the Court. HB 3873—A bill to be entitled An act relating to punitive damages; Speaker Webster: Representative Warner. amending s. 400.023, F.S.; providing conditions for the recovery of attorneys’ fees with respect to civil enforcement of certain infractions Rep. Warner: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don’t have a whole lot to related to nursing homes; providing for application; providing for add from what’s already been said. But, again, thank you personally for discovery; providing for punitive damages; amending s. 768.72, F.S.; giving us the opportunity and the honor of representing the House revising language with respect to claims for punitive damages in civil before the Supreme Court. actions; requiring clear and convincing evidence of gross negligence or I do think, and I want to say this to the Members, that I thought the intentional misconduct to support the recovery of such damages; Supreme Court received us and received our arguments well with the providing definitions; providing criteria for the imposition of punitive courtesy and respect of one branch of the government to the other. And damages with respect to employers, principals, corporations, or other we very much appreciate their giving us that opportunity to the legal entities for the conduct of an employee or agent; providing for the Members of this House. And the point that we made to the Supreme application of the section; providing an exception; amending s. 768.73, Court—that this argument has nothing to do with partial birth abortion F.S.; revising language with respect to limitations on punitive damages; or any other issue on the merits before this House. The issue has to do providing monetary limitations; providing an exception with respect to whether the Governor can institute a legal action against us during intentional misconduct; providing for consolidated punitive damages session, to shut down our session, or to tell us what to do or what not to trials; providing for the effect of certain previous punitive damages do, and it’s something that we needed to do on behalf of the House of awards; providing a limitation on attorney fees; providing for the Representatives and the Florida Legislature, both now and for the application of the section; providing an exception; providing an effective future. date.

So, Mr. Speaker, I think it will come out well, and we, again, appreciate the honor of representing The Chair Crady Kelly Posey both you and the Clerk of the House, Mr. Phelps. Andrews Culp King Pruitt, K. Arnall Dawson-White Kosmas Ritchie Speaker Webster: Well, let me say, thank you to you three for Bainter Dennis Lawson Roberts-Burke doing what you’ve done. I say that on behalf of myself, and our Clerk, Barreiro Diaz de la Portilla Lippman Safley and the House of Representatives. Betancourt Dockery Littlefield Sanderson I believe that this is an extremely important matter. I believe that it’s Bitner Edwards Livingston Sembler certainly not about me; it’s not about the Governor, personally; it’s not Bloom Eggelletion Lynn Sindler about the Supreme Court, personally. It’s about three elements and Boyd Flanagan Maygarden Spratt parts of government, all of which have been framed in a way that would Bronson Fuller Melvin Stabins balance each other. And we believe that balance must be maintained. Brooks Futch Merchant Tamargo That’s part of what this argument was about. And what will be the Burroughs Gay Miller Tobin continuing argument whenever this case continues on is the fact that we, as a House, as a legislature, have the opportunity to act as we will, Byrd Goode Minton Trovillion given certain constraints only by the Constitution—and so does the Casey Hafner Morroni Turnbull Supreme Court, and so does the Governor. However, no one that framed Clemons Healey Morse Valdes the Constitution had in any way a mind to allow one to lord their power Constantine Hill Ogles Wallace over another.
