Abolish the Constitution Revision Commission
Sponsor: Florida Legislature
The marker is the 60% share this measure needed to pass.
In plain English
This amendment would eliminate the Constitution Revision Commission, a body that convenes every 20 years to propose constitutional amendments or revisions for voter approval. If passed, the Commission scheduled to meet in 2037 would not occur, and this method of submitting comprehensive constitutional changes to Florida voters would no longer be available.
Arguments for and against
Attributed claims extracted from the public record. Neither side is endorsed here.
Supporters argued that the Constitution Revision Commission grants too much power to a limited group of commissioners to reshape the state constitution, and that other existing amendment procedures—including legislative proposals and citizen initiatives—provide sufficient mechanisms for constitutional change without concentrating authority in a single body.
Opponents argued that the Constitution Revision Commission provides an important periodic opportunity to comprehensively review and update the constitution as needed, and that eliminating it would limit Floridians' ability to address multiple constitutional issues through a deliberate, structured process.
Voter considerations
The measure required 60% approval to pass; it received 54.46% support, falling short of the supermajority threshold.
