Florida Department of StateTALLAHASSEE, Fla. - An effort to abolish the Florida Constitution Revision Commission, which successfully put seven constitutional amendments before voters in 2018, continued to move forward Monday in the Senate. Sen. Jeff Brandes, a St. Petersburg Republican who is sponsoring the proposal, said the commission in 2018 went beyond what voters wanted when the panel was created in the 1960s. Brandes' measure is filed for the 2020 legislative session, which starts Jan. 14. Mary Adkins, a master legal skills professor at the University of Florida's Levin College of Law who has researched the history of the 1968 Florida Constitution, argued against Brandes' proposal during Monday's committee meeting. The Senate during the 2019 session also approved a measure that would have prevented the commission from bundling multiple topics in ballot proposals.
