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 also requires 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 and requiring the same procedural steps involving the Executive Office of the Governor and the Administration Commission. The amendments include provisions for correcting errors in proposed budgets and stipulate that the budget approved, amended, or modified by the Administration Commission will be final. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
