It passed. As the same law has been passed in Orange and Seminole county.
This organization
http://www.dogsdeservebetter.com/ is fighting to have the law passed in the majority of Fl counties. Starting in the major populated areas, Then it will be very simply put into state law as it will already be passed in most counties.

An ordinance passed Tuesday, April 10, 2012, in Lake County bans pet owners from tying their animals to a single object with a chain, rope or leash.
TAVARES --
Lake County commissioners have unanimously passed an ordinance that prohibits tethering or chaining dogs, except when their owners are outside with them in the yard.
County officials said they plan to educate the public about the new rules first, before starting to issue fines in November.
Those who violate the anti-tethering ordinance could face a $150 fine after a warning, and could be fined $500 for each additional violation within the next five years.
Dog owners could also be hit with a $500 fine if the dog is injured, and a $1,000 fine if the dog dies while tethered.
