The Florida Senate

189.422  Action of the department.--

(2)  If the department determines that the failure to file the reports is a result of the volitional refusal of the members of the governing body of the district, it shall seek a money judgment against the district in the amount of the assessed fine. When appropriate, the department may also seek an injunction or writ of mandamus to compel production of the reports in the circuit court.
