RULEMAKING AUTHORITY
It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.

SECTION 2: Amends Section 8808.023, Special District Local Laws Code by adding Subsection (d) to authorize Duval County to pay for any portion of the costs incident to the district's confirmation election.
