ECUA TERM LIMITS BILL REFILED

Florida District 2 State Representative Alex Andrade has filed a new bill to impose term limits for the Emerald Coast Utility Authority board. A similar bill filed by District 1 State Representative Michelle Salzman, was withdrawn. Andrade’s bill says that anyone elected to the ECUA board for three consecutive terms would not be eligible to run for the next succeeding term. Andrade said he decided to propose a compromise bill after Representative Salzman and State Senator Doug Broxson decided to kill the bill without his input. For Andrade’s bill to advance, a local bill certification form must be signed by Senator Broxson stating it has been approved by a majority of the three-member delegation.
