A coalition of about 20 Florida cities and counties had challenged the 2009 SB 360 as unconsitutional for violating the unfunded mandate and single subject provisions of the Florida Consitution.  On August 26 2010, Judge Francis  granted a motion for summary judgment on Count 2, the unfunded mandate count, finding as a matter of law that 246 local governments were subjected to an unfunded mandate totaling at least $3.7 million ($15,000 each).  He denied summary judgment as to Count 1, the single subject count, finding that it had been mooted by the Legislature’s general reenactment of the statutes this year.  The judge ordered Senate Bill 360 expunged.

Senator Bennett, sponsor of the bill, has been quoted in the papers as saying that he does not want the State to appeal the jusdgement - he plans to reintroduce a new bill to fix the law.

The final judgement can be viewed by clicking on the document below.
