A RESOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, TO
THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN
FAVOR OF RETAINING THE MURPHY ACT.
WHEREAS, Senate and House Bills have been filed with the Legislature of the
State of Florida,which would in fact repeal the Murphy Act,which has been in effect since
1937; and

counties and cities to construct and improve better and safer roadways for the protection
of all of the residents of Florida, and, if local governments can no longer rely on Murphy
Act rights of way and must instead purchase the same rights of way, the ability of local
governments to provide safe roadways will be severely impaired;

respectfully requests that the Legislature of the State of Florida retain the Murphy Act as it
has been for the last 60 years.
