Amendment 1: BUDGET STABILIZATION FUND

What your vote does

Voting YES

Approves the change in the ballot summary below.

Voting NO

Rejects the change in the ballot summary below.

If it passes, the change becomes part of the Florida Constitution. If it fails, nothing in the Constitution changes because of it.

Needs 60% to pass. A simple majority is not enough — if fewer than 60% of voters approve it, the measure fails.

Leaving this question blank counts toward neither side: the 60% is of the people who vote on it. Florida Constitution, Article XI, Section 5

What the ballot says

Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution to increase the amount of funds that may be retained in the budget stabilization fund from 10% to 25% of general revenue collections, require the legislature to transfer the lesser of $750 million or the amount required to reach 25% of the general revenue collections each year unless certain conditions are met, and allow the legislature to withdraw funds for critical state needs.
