Local Government groups have proposed two new exceptions to MRTA which would create major gaps in its coverage and impose significant search burdens. Alan Fields and Raul Ballaga from Fox Ruiz met with representatives from the Dade County Attorneys office last week to better understand their goals and the issues they are facing. It was a positive session, although no mutually acceptable solution was found, each side came away feeling they better understood the issues and concerns of the other.
No committee hearings have been held on either bill, but the issue is expected to continue to be of concern to the local governments.
