State Planning and Budget Process
Proposing amendments to the State
Constitution to limit the amount of nonrecurring
general revenue which may be appropriated for
recurring purposes in any fiscal year to 3
percent of the total general revenue funds
estimated to be available, unless otherwise
approved by a three-fifths vote of the
Legislature; to establish a Joint Legislative
Budget Commission, which shall issue longrange
financial outlooks; to provide for limited
adjustments in the state budget without the
concurrence of the full Legislature, as provided

ARTICLE XI, SECTION 5
Requiring Broader Public Support for
Constitutional Amendments or Revisions
Proposes an amendment to Section 5 of Article
XI of the State Constitution to require that any
proposed amendment to or revision of the
State Constitution, whether proposed by the
Legislature, by initiative, or by any other
method, must be approved by at least 60
percent of the voters of the state voting on the
measure, rather than by a simple majority. This
proposed amendement would not change the

voters of the state voting in the election in
which such an amendment is considered.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE X, SECTION 27
Protect People, Especially Youth, from
Addiction, Disease, and Other Health
Hazards of Using Tobacco
To protect people, especially youth, from
addiction, disease, and other health hazards of
using tabacco, the Legislature shall use some
Tobacco Settlement money annually for a
comprehensive statewide tobacco education
and prevention program using Centers for
Disease Control best practices. Specifies some
program components, emphasizing youth,
requiring one-third of total annual funding for
advertising. Annual funding is 15% of 2005
Tobacco Settlement payments to Florida,
adjusted annually for inflation. Provides
definitions. Effective immediately.
This amendment requires state government to
appropriate approximately $57 million in 2007
for the Comprehensive Statewide Tobacco
Education and Prevention Program. Thereafter,
this amount will increase annually with inflation.
This spending is expected to reduce tobacco
consumption. As a result, some long-term
savings to state and local government health
and insurance programs are probable, but
indeterminate. Also, minor revenue loss to
state government is probable, but
indeterminate.
