yes it is 2010 bill, so if u follow regular 2009 session FL bills, you woudln't have found it.It is not unusual to have prefilled bills, it happens in NV too, some bills for 2009 session were prefilled on 2008. Good to follow that, so you know what the enemy is doing.
I expect similar bill be filled in FL house as well.

Sobel is a do nothing politician. She's pressing for this, but FWC is taking her into consideration. She even said FWC doesn't move fast enough for my liking.
