REQUIRING LEGISLATIVE 
DETERMINATION THAT

___________________________________________________________________
         The Attorney General has asked the Court for an advisory opinion as to 
whether the financial impact statement prepared by the Financial Impact Estimating 
Conference on the constitutional amendment, proposed by initiative petition, entitled 
"Fairness Initiative Requiring Legislative Determination that Sales Tax Exemptions and 
Exclusions Serve a Public Purpose" is in accordance with section 100.371, Florida 
Statutes.  Because this proposed amendment has been stricken from the ballot 
pursuant to the Court's opinion in Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General re 
Fairness Initiative Requiring Legislative Determination that Sales Tax Exemptions and 
Exclusions Serve a Public Purpose, No. SC04-947, slip op. at 14 (Fla. July 15, 2004), 
the instant proceeding is hereby dismissed as moot.
No motion for rehearing will be allowed.
PARIENTE, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANTERO and
