Title

HONORING FIFTY YEARS OF MUNICIPAL HOME RULE IN THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION AND COMMITTING TO AN EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE TO HELP FLORIDIANS UNDERSTAND THIS BENEFICIAL RIGHT.

Body

 

 

BACKGROUND: This year marks the 50th anniversary of Constitutional Home Rule. Florida voters ratified this authority in the 1968 Constitution giving cities the right to perform municipal functions and deliver services without express permission from the state, except as otherwise provided by law. It is the foundation by which we govern our cities.

                                          

 

RECOMMENDATION: Approval.                     

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT: Not Applicable.
