Fifth Week Begins as Divorces Could Be Granted Sooner
The Florida House approved a bill by Representative Booth allowing divorces after a one year residence, down from two. The vote was 57 to 29, with last week’s amendment removing a six month county residence rule. The session opened with many local measures and a Mother’s Day memorial. A forestry board bill by Representative Sale would create a five member state board, remove land leasing powers, and employ a state forester to protect woodlands. The house also passed a gas tax revenue bill routing money to the state treasurer, and considered a prohibition on state or county officers buying lands from boards they serve.
