A Senate proposal that would honor the late musician Jimmy Buffett is a drastic change in the latitude from a House measure filed last week.
Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book, D-Davie, on Tuesday, filed a bill (SB 84) for the 2024 legislative session that would require the Department of Transportation to establish the “Jimmy Buffett Highway” along the final stretch of the Overseas Highway entering Key West.
Book’s proposal would designate about a two-mile stretch of road to honor Buffett, who died Sept. 1 at age 76.
