ADVISORY OPINION TO THE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL
RE:  THE MEDICAL 
LIABILITY CLAIMANT'S 
COMPENSATION 
AMENDMENT
___________________________________________________________________
         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 
"The Medical Liability Claimant's Compensation Amendment," is in accordance with 
section 100.371, Florida Statutes.  The Court finds no basis for rejecting the financial 
impact statement under section 100.371(6), Florida Statutes, as amended by chapter 
2004-33, section 3, Laws of Florida.  The financial impact statement may be placed 
on the ballot, but the Court expresses no opinion on the merits of the financial impact 
statement.
No motion for rehearing will be allowed.
PARIENTE, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANTERO and
