Terms Used In Florida Statutes 11.9342
- Concurrent resolution: A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President/Governor and thus do not have the force of law.
A vote cast by a delegate or an alternate delegate at an Article V convention is void if the vote is outside the scope of:
(1) The instructions established by a concurrent resolution adopted pursuant to ss. 11.93–11.9352; or
(2) The limits placed by the Legislature in a concurrent resolution or memorial that calls for an Article V convention for the purpose of proposing one or more amendments to the Constitution of the United States on the subjects and amendments that may be considered by the Article V Convention.
