summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The sponsoring political committee Ban Assault Weapons NOW has proposed an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Florida that would prohibit the possession of semiautomatic rifles and shotguns capable of holding more than ten rounds of ammunition at once, either in fixed or detachable magazine, with certain exceptions. The City Commission supports the placement of the Proposed Constitutional Amendment on a ballot so that the citizens of Florida have the opportunity to vote for or against the Proposed Constitutional Amendment, but do not take any position as to whether the Proposed Constitutional Amendment should be adopted. Each local government who joins in filing the brief will pay their respective share of the $25,000 flat fee, provided that enough local governments participate so that each local government’s cost does not exceed $3,000.
Origin of request for this action: City Manager’s Office
Fiscal impact and source of funding: 3,000.00
