ETA: Why on earth does eBay have problems in the reputation department?!

The ranking doesn’t make sense to me whatsoever.

But eBay was involved in a pretty massive scandal with some eBay employees stalking and harassing bloggers. The direction to do so came from pretty high up in the company. Pretty disgusting stuff.

The language says that Section 99, Florida Statutes doesn't apply to candidates for President and Vice President. So I would have to go back to Section 99, F.S. to find out. I do know that the particular section of the bill says that it becomes effective upon becoming law. It is one of the bills that was presented to the Governor yesterday. I don't want to predict anything but he could conceivably sign the bill today.

Edit. Section 99(4), F.S.:
(4)(a) Any officer who qualifies for federal public office must resign from the office he or she presently holds if the terms, or any part thereof, run concurrently with each other.
(b) The resignation is irrevocable.
(c) The resignation must be submitted at least 10 days before the first day of qualifying for the office he or she intends to seek.
(d) The written resignation must be effective no later than the earlier of the following dates:
1. The date the officer would take office, if elected; or
2. The date the officer’s successor is required to take office.
(e)1. An elected district, county, or municipal officer shall submit his or her resignation to the officer before whom he or she qualified for the office he or she holds, with a copy to the Governor and the Department of State.
2. An appointed district, county, or municipal officer shall submit his or her resignation to the officer or authority which appointed him or her to the office he or she holds, with a copy to the Governor and the Department of State.
3. All other officers shall submit their resignations to the Governor with a copy to the Department of State.
(f)1. The failure of an officer who qualifies for federal public office to submit a resignation pursuant to this subsection constitutes an automatic irrevocable resignation, effective immediately, from the office he or she presently holds.
2. The Department of State shall send a notice of the automatic resignation to the Governor, and in the case of a district, county, or municipal officer, a copy to:
a. The officer before whom he or she qualified if the officer held an elective office; or
b. The officer or authority who appointed him or her if the officer held an appointive office.
(g) The office is deemed vacant upon the effective date of the resignation submitted by the official in his or her letter of resignation.

The part of the legislation affecting those running for POTUS or VPOTUS becomes effective at signing. The rest of the bill on July 1st.

Announcing isn't qualifying. In fact, there's no real "qualification" for federal office in the state. It's always been a formality, at least it was when I worked for the Division of Elections. Federal, not state, law rules.

That looks like you have to resign before you take another office if elected. You only are qualified to hold office if you win the election but nothing about campaigning. Thanks for posting I was using hearsay to form my opinion.

That's not what qualifying for office in the state means.

Qualifying means meeting the state statutory requirements to run for a particular office - live in the district, pay the qualifying fee or obtain the required number of signatures from voters in the district, submit the required paperwork to run, including the Resign to Run form, etc.

Unless SB 7050 changed that portion of the statute, the resignation is irrevocable. So if you lose, hence the

"(d) The written resignation must be effective no later than the earlier of the following dates:
1. The date the officer would take office, if elected; or
2. The date the officer’s successor is required to take office."

Both things can be true. Disney didn't cancel Lake Nona because of their current legal fight with the governor.

But did 90% of the people asked saying no to moving, have something to do with the recent laws enacted in Florida? Probably.

Did the relocation costs increasing because of housing issues and insurance play a part? Probably.

Did construction delays seem imminent because of the exodus of construction workers in the state? Probably.

Did a sudden glut of office space causes by layoffs make the expense redundant and unnecessary? Yeah probably.

Will Disney continue to invest in Florida? Yep.

Sir I don't usualy agree with you but you are spot on with this!

I doubt that a bunch of Disney forumites are going to catch the Governor breaking FL law with a big 'gotcha' with regard to his potential presidential candidacy. Therefore, the minutiae of the law in that regard is a bit off topic here.

But please keep up the good legal discussion of what's directly related to RCID.

Just out of curiosity with judges having conflict of interest, does that extend to lawyers representing a party? As in judge X is related to Y attorney, or similar?
