Latest version.
  • To the maximum extent allowed by law, the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics shall abate proceedings on any complaint, which is filed by the same complainant against the same respondent, and involving substantially identical facts, until the village completes its proceedings on the complaint. The village shall promptly notify the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust and the Florida Commission on Ethics when it learns that a substantially identical compliant has been filed with either of those agencies and request that their proceedings be abated until the conclusion of the village's proceedings. The village's findings of facts, conclusions of law, final determination and imposition of a penalty shall be accorded a presumption of correctness by those agencies.
