RE: Resolution No. 19-0316 Enact Legislation - Reduce Military and Veterans
Expenses
File No. 6228
At its July 25, 2019 meeting, the City Commission adopted the above referenced agenda
item, RE.6, urging the Florida Legislature to enact legislation providing certain benefits to
military personnel or veterans. Section 6 of the legislation inadvertently referenced the "City of
Miami Legislative Delegation" instead of referencing the "Miami -Dade County Legislative
Delegation.
Further, prior to publishing, the version of the legislation was inadvertently incremented
from the original version to Revision A and the City Commission adopted Revision A.
Therefore, the Legislation has been corrected and the version incremented to Revision B.
