Overview

RULE:

1S-2.009

Constitutional Amendment by Initiative Petition

PURPOSE:

To implement changes to the procedural requirements for submission of petition forms and their contents. The revised rule will clarify that the sponsoring political committee must include its address in the political disclaimer portion of the form and that no additional information other than that permitted by the rule may be printed on the petition form. The rule deletes the provision that prohibits the bundling of petitions while being circulated for signature because Section 100.371, F.S., now expressly contains the prohibition. The rule also corrects an incorrect citation to the specific authority for the rule and adds the Florida Constitution as an implementing law source.

SUBJECT:

Citizen constitutional initiative process.
