What happened
The Florida Legislature introduced proposals that, if adopted, would amend the state constitution regarding how Florida collects taxes and budgets its money. One key proposal concerns the Budget Stabilization Fund. This amendment would require the Legislature to annually move either $750 million or 25% of the state’s general revenue into the fund. The fund is intended to prepare for times of critical state need.

Why it matters
The amendment would allow the Legislature to draw from the fund during declared critical state need with a two-thirds vote. The proposal also allows the Legislature to suspend the constitutional requirement to transfer funds during financially difficult years.
