Florida Supreme Court rejects (5-2) Florida Senate redistricting plan. The Court approved the Florida House plan. Word is the Senate will return to Tallahassee in late March to fix things.
This is exactly the type of chaos Democrats hoped for when they pushed for Amendments 5 and 6 back in 2010.
“House Rule 15.3–Improper Influence; Solicitation or Acceptance of Campaign Contributions
(a) A member may not accept anything that reasonably may be construed to improperly influence the
member’s official act, decision, or vote.
(b)(1) A member may not directly or indirectly solicit, cause to be solicited, or accept any campaign
contribution during the 60-day regular legislative session or any extended or special session on the member’s own
behalf, on behalf of a political party, any organization described under section 527 or section 501(c)(4) of the Internal
Revenue Code, a political committee, or a committee of continuous existence, or on behalf of a candidate for the House
of Representatives; however, a member may contribute to the member’s own campaign.”
