State Ex Rel. Turner v. Earle, 295 So. 2d 609 (Fla. 1974). “Although not applicable to the instant cause we note that in the 1969 session the Legislature promulgated Chapter 69-277, Laws of Florida, (amended by Chapter 71-333, Laws of Florida), Section 112.42, Florida Statutes, F.S.A., relating to the governor's power to suspend.”
Advisory Opinion to Gov. Request of July 12, 1976, 336 So. 2d 97 (Fla. 1976). “Does § 112.42, F.S. represent an invalid limitation upon the governor's authority to suspend under Article IV, Section 7 or may the governor suspend for conduct which takes place in prior terms but which may affect the officers [sic] capacity to conduct his office? "4.”
State v. Zimmerman, 370 So. 2d 1179 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979). “IV, § 7(a) (1968); Section 112.42, Florida Statutes (1977). Thus it appears that the legislature was attempting to fill a gap in the law through enactment of § 106.”
