United States Eleventh Circuit
Florida Ass'n of Prof'l Lobbyists Inc. v. Div. of Legislative Info. Serv. of the Florida Office of Legislative Serv., 07-10435
READ
In a case assessing the constitutionality of a Florida legislation which regulates legislative and executive lobbying in Florida, a finding of no contravention to the federal constitution is affirmed over claims that the Act's provision banning expenditures and its compensation reporting provisions were unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. Furthermore, whether the underlying Act violates Florida's separation of powers doctrine or infringes the Florida Supreme Court's jurisdiction are certified to the Florida Supreme Court, as these questions are solely issues of state law that should be decided by the Florida Supreme Court.
