The following question is certified to the Supreme Court of Florida: Whether, for purposes of Florida Statutes section 125.66(4)(b), a "substantial or material change" in a proposed ordinance during the enactment process (that is, the kind of change that would require a county to start the process over) is confined to a change in the "original general purpose" of the proposed ordinance, or whether it includes: 1) a change to the "actual list of permitted, conditional, or prohibited uses within a zoning category"; or 2) a change necessary to secure legislative passage of the ordinance?
