The joint 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 empower voters to remove elected officials from office through a specified process, thereby enhancing accountability and responsiveness in local governance.
If approved, the amendment will be presented to the voters during the next general election or at an earlier special election authorized by law. The resolution outlines the necessary changes to the existing constitutional framework, ensuring that the recall process aligns with the provisions set forth in section 100.361 of the Florida Statutes. A statement regarding this proposed amendment will be included on the ballot for voter consideration.
