The joint resolution proposes amendments to the Florida State Constitution that would alter the election and composition of county commissioners and the superintendent of schools. Specifically, it mandates that the membership of a board of county commissioners be determined based on the population of the county, as outlined by general law. Additionally, it stipulates that county commissioners must be elected by the qualified voters residing in the same district as the commissioner. Furthermore, the resolution requires that the superintendent of schools be elected rather than appointed.
These proposed amendments will be submitted to the voters of Florida for approval or rejection during the next general election or a specially authorized election. The resolution aims to enhance local governance by ensuring that county representation reflects population distribution and that key educational leadership is directly accountable to the electorate.
