MOTOR VEHICLES

_ Rolled back sharp increases in auto fees that the state adopted three years ago to close a large budget gap and paid for them by eliminating a payroll tax credit to insurance companies.

PASSED BUT VETOED

Another bill passed the Legislature but was vetoed by Gov. Rick Scott that would have ended permanent alimony in Florida, limited how much alimony an ex-spouse could receive and required judges to give divorced parents equal custody of their children absent extraordinary circumstances.
