The resolution proposes substantial amendments to the Florida State Constitution aimed at improving government efficiency and restructuring state governance. A key feature is the establishment of the office of the Commissioner of Government Efficiency, which will serve as a Cabinet officer responsible for auditing and investigating issues related to fraud, waste, and abuse within the executive branch and local governments. This new position will replace the offices of Lieutenant Governor, Legislative Auditor, and the Government Efficiency Task Force, with the Commissioner being appointed by the legislature by March 2, 2027, and subsequently elected in the 2028 general election. The resolution also clarifies the succession process for the Governor in cases of vacancy, impeachment, or incapacity, and sets term limits for certain state officials.
In addition to these structural changes, the resolution emphasizes transparency and accountability in state budgeting processes, mandating detailed budget requests and public review periods. It proposes the creation of a joint legislative budget commission to oversee budgetary decisions and ensure alignment with long-term fiscal strategies. The resolution also includes provisions for restoring voting rights to individuals with felony convictions and outlines a potential repeal process for the Commissioner of Government Efficiency office in 2044. Overall, these amendments aim to modernize Florida's governance framework and enhance the operational efficiency of state government.
