The resolution proposes substantial amendments to the Florida State Constitution aimed at enhancing government efficiency and restructuring state governance. Key changes include the establishment of a new Cabinet-level position, the Commissioner of Government Efficiency, which is intended to improve governmental operations and reduce costs. The resolution also revises the legal framework for the succession of the Governor in cases of vacancy, impeachment, or incapacity, while calling for the repeal of certain existing constitutional sections and the introduction of new provisions related to auditing processes and government efficiency measures. These proposed amendments are to be presented to voters for approval in the next general election or a specially authorized election.
In addition to restructuring executive offices, the resolution seeks to repeal the office of Lieutenant Governor and the Legislative Auditor, while detailing the responsibilities of state officials and introducing a statewide prosecutor to address criminal law violations across multiple judicial circuits. It also addresses voting rights by specifying disqualifications for individuals convicted of felonies and the restoration of civil rights upon completion of their sentences. The appointment process for the Commissioner of Government Efficiency is outlined, with legislative appointment until the 2028 general election, and a future ballot question regarding the potential repeal of this office is proposed for the 2044 general election. Overall, the resolution aims to create a more efficient and accountable government structure in Florida, reflecting a commitment to fiscal responsibility and effective governance.
