New Florida Election Law Bill passes Legislature, on its way to the Governor
April 30, 2010
With a flurry of action yesterday, a new election law bill passed the House and Senate yesterday and is on its way to the Governor. I’ll spend more time going over it if the Governor signs it, but what jumped out immediately to me was this new section: 97.0115 Preemption.-All matters set forth in chapters 97-105 are preempted to the state, except as otherwise specifically authorized by state or federal law. The conduct of municipal elections shall be governed by s. 100.3605.
