The bill now goes to the Senate. Rep. Shepperd, president of the St. Augustine Record Printing Co., who said he is the only member restricted by law, asked for its repeal. He said he just wanted the Leg- islature “merely to put printers | on the same basis as everybody else.” Several members suggested it would be a good idea to prohibit all members. of the Legislature, no matter what their businesses, from doing business with the state. Rep: Ballinger, Leon, said the law prohibiting legislators from doing state printing was passed | in 1887 when all the state’s print- | ing was let under a contract to, one known as the “state printer.” The state auditor recently cited the old law in commenting that) Shepperd’s company had received substantial printing contracts from the State Department of Agricul- ture. TALLAHASSEE (?—A freshman House member tcday proposed that all members of the Florida carry tags so employees can dis-| tinguish “lobbyists from the hon- orable legislators.” Rep.

Although local established deal- ers are exempt from the examina- tions, all of them will be required to pay business licenses if the amendment passes. Master install- ers dealing in appliances besides refrigeration and airconditioning units, will be required to pay $25. If the business deals solely in re- frigeration and airconditioning units, the license will cost $50.
