Bill Summary
A joint resolution proposing an amendment to Section 6 of Article IV and the creation of Section 14 in Article IV of the State Constitution to require that the Senate confirm appointments and removals made by the Governor and to require that the Legislature authorize an extension of a state of emergency declared by the Governor.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would require the State Senate to confirm appointments and removals made by the Governor to certain designated statutory offices, replacing the current system where three members of the Cabinet could also approve these actions. Additionally, it would mandate that if a state of emergency declared by the Governor needs to last longer than 60 days, the Legislature must authorize its extension, thereby giving lawmakers a role in overseeing prolonged emergency declarations.
