No. 1
Constitutional Amendment,
Article VII, Section 6, Article XII,
Section 37
Increased Homestead Property
Tax Exemption
Proposing an amendment to the
State Constitution to increase the
homestead exemption by exempting
the assessed valuation of homestead
property greater than $100,000 and
up to $125,000 for all levies other than
school district levies. The amendment
shall take effect January 1, 2019.
o
Yes
o
No
No. 2
Constitutional Amendment,
Article XII, Section 27
Limitations on Property Tax
Assessments
Proposing an amendment to the
State Constitution to permanently
retain provisions currently in
effect, which limit property tax
assessment increases on specied
nonhomestead real property, except
for school district taxes, to 10
percent each year. If approved, the
amendment removes the scheduled
repeal of such provisions in 2019 and
shall take effect January 1, 2019.
o
Yes
o
No
No. 3
Constitutional Amendment,
Article X, Section 29
Voter Control of Gambling in
Florida
This amendment ensures that Florida
voters shall have the exclusive right
to decide whether to authorize casino
gambling by requiring that in order
for casino gambling to be authorized
under Florida law, it must be approved
by Florida voters pursuant to Article XI,
Section 3 of the Florida Constitution.
Affects articles X and XI. Denes
casino gambling and claries that
this amendment does not conict
with federal law regarding state/tribal
compacts.
The amendment’s impact on state
and local government revenues and
costs, if any, cannot be determined at
this time because of its unknown effect
on gambling operations that have not
been approved by voters through a
constitutional amendment proposed
by a citizens’ initiative petition process.
o

o
No
No. 4
Constitutional Amendment,
Article VI, Section 4
Voting Restoration Amendment
This amendment restores the voting
rights of Floridians with felony
convictions after they complete all
terms of their sentence including
parole or probation. The amendment
would not apply to those convicted of
murder or sexual offenses, who would
continue to be permanently barred
from voting unless the Governor and
Cabinet vote to restore their voting
rights on a case by case basis.
The precise effect of this amendment
on state and local government
costs cannot be determined, but the
operation of current voter registration
laws, combined with an increased
number of felons registering to vote,
will produce higher overall costs
relative to the processes in place
today. The impact, if any, on state
and local government revenues
cannot be determined. The scal
impact of any future legislation that
implements a different process
cannot be reasonably determined.
o
Yes
o
No

county, municipality, school board, or
special district.
