FL H1287

Urges Congress to repeal Section 511 of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005, which requires governments with annual spending exceeding $100 million to withhold 3 percent federal tax on payments for certain goods and services

Characterizes Section 511 as an unfunded mandate that increases state operating costs and administrative burden on state agencies

Argues the withholding requirement diverts resources from critical state services and reduces the value of taxpayer dollars

Contends the mandate negatively impacts small businesses in Florida's economy

Directs copies of the memorial be sent to the President, Congressional leadership, and Florida's delegation to Congress
