       The Committee on Budget Subcommittee on Transportation, Tourism,

    4  and insert:
    5         Section 4. Paragraph (g) is added to subsection (1) of
    6  section 163.3177, Florida Statutes, and paragraph (h) of
    7  subsection (6) of that section is amended, to read:
    8         163.3177 Required and optional elements of comprehensive
    9  plan; studies and surveys.—
   10         (1) The comprehensive plan shall provide the principles,
   11  guidelines, standards, and strategies for the orderly and
   12  balanced future economic, social, physical, environmental, and
   13  fiscal development of the area that reflects community
   14  commitments to implement the plan and its elements. These
   15  principles and strategies shall guide future decisions in a
   16  consistent manner and shall contain programs and activities to
   17  ensure comprehensive plans are implemented. The sections of the
   18  comprehensive plan containing the principles and strategies,
   19  generally provided as goals, objectives, and policies, shall
   20  describe how the local government’s programs, activities, and
   21  land development regulations will be initiated, modified, or
   22  continued to implement the comprehensive plan in a consistent
   23  manner. It is not the intent of this part to require the
   24  inclusion of implementing regulations in the comprehensive plan
   25  but rather to require identification of those programs,
   26  activities, and land development regulations that will be part
   27  of the strategy for implementing the comprehensive plan and the
   28  principles that describe how the programs, activities, and land
   29  development regulations will be carried out. The plan shall
   30  establish meaningful and predictable standards for the use and
   31  development of land and provide meaningful guidelines for the
   32  content of more detailed land development and use regulations.
   33         (g) A land use amendment to a comprehensive master plan
   34  shall be adopted by a simple majority vote. A local government
   35  may not require a super majority vote in order to amend a
   36  comprehensive master plan.

   45         prohibiting a local government from requiring a super
   46         majority vote to amend a comprehensive master plan;
