CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE XI, SECTION 5 |
REQUIRING BROADER PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS OR REVISIONS
Proposes
an amendment to Section 5 of Article XI of the State Constitution
to require that any proposed amendment to or revision of
the State Constitution, whether proposed by the Legislature,
by initiative, or by any other method, must be approved
by at least 60 percent of the voters of the state voting
on the measure, rather than by a simple majority. This
proposed amendment would not change the current requirement
that a proposed constitutional amendment imposing a new
state tax or fee be approved by at least 2/3 of the voters
of the state voting in the election in which such an amendment
is considered. |

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE X, SECTION 27 |
PROTECT PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY YOUTH, FROM ADDICTION,
DISEASE,
AND OTHER HEALTH HAZARDS OF USING TOBACCO
To
protect people, especially youth, from addiction, disease,
and other health hazards of using tobacco, the Legislature
shall use some Tobacco Settlement money annually for a
comprehensive statewide tobacco education and prevention
program using Centers for Disease Control best practices.
Specifies some program components, emphasizing youth, requiring
one-third of total annual funding for advertising. Annual
funding is 15% of 2005 Tobacco Settlement payments to Florida,
adjusted annually for inflation. Provides definitions.
Effective immediately.
This
amendment requires state government to appropriate approximately
$57 million in 2007 for the
Comprehensive Statewide Tobacco
Education and Prevention Program. Thereafter, this amount
will increase annually with inflation. This spending is
expected
to reduce tobacco consumption. As a result, some long-term
savings to state and local government health and insurance
programs are probable, but indeterminate. Also, minor revenue
loss to state government is probable, but indeterminate. |

age 65 or older who was a Florida resident at the time
of entering military service, whose disability was combat-related,

of the discount as equal to the percentage of the veteran’s
permanent service-connected disability; to specify qualification
requirements for the discount; to authorize the Legislature
to waive the annual application requirement in subsequent
years by general law; and to specify that the provision
takes effect December 7, 2006, is self-executing, and does
not require implementing legislation. |

Legislature may by general law passed by a three-fifths
vote of the membership of each house of the Legislature
permit exceptions allowing the transfer of such private
property; and providing that this prohibition on the transfer
