The resolution proposes significant amendments to the Florida State Constitution aimed at enhancing government efficiency and restructuring state governance. A key feature is the establishment of the office of the Commissioner of Government Efficiency as a Cabinet-level position, which will take over the responsibilities of the existing Government Efficiency Task Force. The resolution also calls for the repeal of the office of Lieutenant Governor, with the individual elected in the upcoming election being designated as the first Commissioner of Government Efficiency. Additionally, it revises the succession provisions for the Governor, ensuring a clear legal framework for handling vacancies, impeachments, or incapacities.
Moreover, the resolution outlines qualifications and terms for the Governor, Cabinet members, and the new Commissioner, mandating that they must be electors, at least 30 years old, and have resided in Florida for the past seven years. It also addresses voting rights for individuals with felony convictions and imposes limits on consecutive terms for certain offices. The proposed amendments will be submitted to voters for approval during the next general election or a specially authorized election, and they include a provision for a future ballot question regarding the potential repeal of the Commissioner of Government Efficiency office in 2044. Overall, these changes reflect a commitment to improving state operations and accountability within Florida's government structure.
