Bill > S1406

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would change the requirement for approving amendments or revisions to the state constitution. Currently, such changes need approval from at least 60 percent of the voters who cast a ballot on the measure. This resolution seeks to lower that threshold to a simple majority, meaning more than 50 percent of the votes cast would be sufficient for approval, unless the amendment imposes a new state tax or fee, which would still require a two-thirds vote. The proposed change aims to make it easier for voters to approve constitutional amendments.
