The motion carried by the following vote: <br />Aye: 3 - Chairman Flescher, Commissioner Adams, and Commissioner Zorc <br />Nay: 2 - Vice Chairman O'Bryan, and Commissioner Solari <br />13.B 17-0207 House Bill 17 <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />HB 17 <br />County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided an update and expressed his concerns <br />about House Bill 17, as it would create a significant limitation on local government <br />Home Rule Powers. He stated that this Bill prohibits local governments from <br />imposing regulations on businesses, professions and occupations after January 1, <br />2017, preempting the regulation of businesses, professions, and occupations to the <br />State. He said that there was a grandfather clause for regulations adopted prior to <br />January 1, 2017, but it will expire on January 1, 2020. This would affect the <br />County's ability to regulate adult entertainment and nightclubs, and would affect <br />local Ordinances dealing with pain management and fracking. The Bill has been <br />referred to two House Committees, with the first meeting to be held with the <br />Careers and Competitions Subcommittee on February 22, 2017, and will move on <br />to the Commerce Committee, if it passes. He felt this Bill was a direct threat to <br />Home Rule Authority, and said he would relay any of the Board's comments to <br />Tallahassee. <br />14. COMMISSIONERS MATTERS <br />A.
