TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida lawmakers are busy preparing for the next Legislative session, with hundreds of new bills already being filed.
Of those, though, over a dozen are proposed amendments to the state Constitution, which puts a few more obstacles in the way of them becoming law.
Even if lawmakers approve these amendments, residents will still have to consider them during the next general election in 2026.
To become law, these amendments will require at least 60% approval from voters, meaning they wouldn’t be implemented until Jan. 1, 2027.
That being said, nearly every proposed amendment thus far tackles the issue of property taxes — an issue that Gov. Ron DeSantis hammered away at earlier this year .
