Florida Voters to Decide on Three Constitutional Amendments on Nov. 3

Florida voters are scheduled to decide on three proposed constitutional amendments on November 3. Amendment 1 seeks to raise the state's Budget Stabilization Fund cap from 10% to 25% of net general revenue collections. Amendment 2 aims to eliminate tangible personal property taxes on machinery used in farming and agritourism. Amendment 3 proposes an overhaul of the property tax system by expanding non-school homestead exemptions.

These amendments could significantly alter state financial management and property tax burdens across the state. Amendment 1 would allow the state to deposit up to $750 million annually into its reserve fund. Amendment 2 would provide tax relief for agricultural operations, while Amendment 3 would change how property taxes are assessed for homeowners.
