HB 4013 is a local bill relating to Citrus County that repeals chapter 2001-296, Laws of Florida. The bill does not create a new program or regulatory scheme; instead, it removes an existing special act that had governed the rights of certain employees and appointees of the Citrus County Sheriff. The repeal takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
In practical terms, the bill changes Florida law only by eliminating that 2001 local law from the statutes. Because the bill is narrowly focused on Citrus County and the sheriff’s office, its legal effect is limited to the county and the specific employee/appointee rights addressed in the repealed chapter. No other statewide statutes are amended by the text of HB 4013.
HB 4013 repeals a local special act, chapter 2001-296, Laws of Florida, thereby removing a county-specific legal provision concerning certain Citrus County Sheriff employees and appointees. The bill’s impact is confined to local governance and employment-related rights or protections previously established by that chapter, and it does not appear to alter broader statewide law or create new obligations for other counties or agencies.
The available record shows no committee transcripts or recorded votes, so there is no direct evidence of debate or opposition in the materials provided. The bill’s passage and enactment into chapter law suggest it was noncontroversial or at least not heavily contested in the available record. Overall, the sentiment appears neutral and procedural, consistent with a narrow local cleanup or repeal measure.
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided materials. If there was any disagreement, it is not reflected in committee transcripts or vote history. The only identifiable issue is the repeal of a prior local law affecting rights of certain Citrus County Sheriff employees and appointees, which could have been relevant to local employment or administrative arrangements, but no opposing arguments are recorded here.
