The resolution proposes an amendment to Section 1 of Article VIII of the Florida State Constitution, allowing the electors of the state to recall county officers and commissioners. This amendment aims to enhance local governance by providing a mechanism for voters to remove elected officials from office if deemed necessary. The proposed change will be submitted to the electorate for approval or rejection during the next general election or at a specially authorized election.
If approved, the amendment will add a new subsection to Article VIII, Section 1, explicitly stating that county officers and commissioners can be removed from office by the electors following the process outlined in section 100.361 of the Florida Statutes. This initiative reflects a commitment to empowering citizens in their local governance and ensuring accountability among elected officials.
