This bill amends sections of Florida Statutes related to the budget processes for county constitutional officers, specifically the supervisor of elections and the clerk of the circuit court. It authorizes the supervisor of elections to file a budget appeal to the Administration Commission within 30 days of receiving written notice of budget actions taken by the board or commission. The bill outlines the process for filing the appeal, including the requirement for the Executive Office of the Governor to conduct a budget hearing and submit findings and recommendations to the Administration Commission, which must take specified actions regarding the budget.

Additionally, the bill introduces similar provisions for the clerk of the circuit court, allowing them to appeal budget decisions in a specified manner. Both sections emphasize the need for written notice of any amendments to the proposed budget and establish a timeline for responses and hearings. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
