Statutory reference:
Authority for any person charged with the violation of an ordinance, which is also a violation of state law, to cause the transfer of the case to the appropriate court in which a jury trial is provided, see Fla. Stat. §§ 932.61 through 932.66
Punishment for misdemeanors where not otherwise provided, see Fla. Stat. §§ 775.082 and 775.083
Editor's note: The ordinance forbidding acts recognized by state law as misdemeanors and authorizing the same penalty as provided by state law, but not to exceed maximum municipal penalty, was a valid ordinance and not repealed by the section prohibiting adoption of penalty clause by reference. See State ex rel. McFarland v. Roberts, 74 So. 2d 88. The ordinance making it unlawful to commit within the city any act recognized by state law as a misdemeanor included misdemeanor laws of the state subsequently adopted. See Springer v. Smith, 189 So. 2d 846.
