The joint resolution proposes an amendment to Section 5 of Article XI of the Florida State Constitution, changing the required percentage of elector votes needed to approve constitutional amendments or revisions from a minimum of 60 percent to a simple majority of those voting on the measure. This amendment aims to simplify the process for constitutional changes, making it easier for proposed amendments to gain approval from the electorate. The resolution outlines the procedures for submitting proposed amendments to voters, including timelines for filing and public notification requirements.

Additionally, the resolution specifies that the proposed amendment will be presented to voters at the next general election or at a special election authorized by law. It includes a provision that maintains the existing requirement for any amendment that imposes a new state tax or fee, which must still be approved by a two-thirds majority of the electors voting. The ballot will feature a statement summarizing the amendment, emphasizing the change in the approval threshold while clarifying that certain tax-related amendments remain subject to stricter voting requirements.
