TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Ballot measures proposed by the state Constitution Revision Commission would be limited to single subjects, under legislation slated to again go before lawmakers in 2020.
Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez, D-Miami, on Friday filed a proposal (SJR 176) that would place a single-subject requirement on proposed constitutional amendments offered by the Constitution Revision Commission.
The commission meets every 20 years to consider changes to the state Constitution.
The Senate during the 2019 legislative session approved legislation that would have placed a single-subject requirement on the commission's ballot proposals, but the issue did not pass the House.
Meanwhile, Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, also has filed legislation (SJR 142) for the 2020 session that would do away with the commission.
