CRC Committee Extends Recommended Public Proposal Deadline to October 6

Posted on September 26, 2017

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, the Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) Rules and Administration Committee recommended Friday, October 6 as the filing deadline for public proposals to be considered by the CRC. The recommended deadline extended the previously recommended deadline of September 22 due to the impact of Hurricane Irma on Florida.

CRC Chairman Carlos Beruff, said, “The CRC has already received a historic amount of public input and we want to ensure that all Floridians interested in the CRC process have every opportunity to submit their proposals. The Rules and Administration Committee has recommended October 6 as the public proposal deadline to ensure that all proposals are given the consideration and review they deserve. Commissioners are actively reviewing the nearly 1,400 public proposals that have been received by the CRC to date.” 

The recommended October 6 deadline is subject to approval by a vote of the full commission. The next full commission meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 2 from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM in Tallahassee. All public proposals received by the CRC are available online atflcrc.gov/Proposals/Public.

ABOUT THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION REVISION COMMISSION (CRC)

Once every 20 years, Florida’s Constitution provides for the creation of a 37-member revision commission for the purpose of reviewing Florida’s Constitution and proposing changes for voter consideration. The Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) meets for approximately one year, traveling the State of Florida, identifying issues, performing research and possibly recommending changes to the Constitution. Any amendments proposed by the CRC would be placed on the 2018 General Election ballot. For additional information, visit flcrc.gov. Follow the CRC on social media @FloridaCRC (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube).
