June 5, 2018 On June 5 th we heard from James Chandler who spoke to us about the Constitutional Revision Commission (CRC). What is the CRC? The constitution Revision Commission process was created when Florida overhauled its state constitution in 1968. It can submit proposed constitutional amendments directly to the voters. Now, every 20 years, the Florida constitution requires the convening of a CRC to review the entire constitution and propose changes to voters. Thirty Seven people are appointed to review and recommend changes. Fifteen are appointed by the Governor, nine are appointed by Florida Senate President, nine are appointed by Florida House Speaker, three are appointed by Florida Chief Justice and the Florida s Attorney is an automatic member. During the first year, the CRC meets to hold public hearings, review the constitution and propose amendments. INTERESTING FACT: ONLY 1 IN 10 FLORIDIANS CAN CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THIS PROCESS. During the past two constitution revision commissions, proposed amendments addressed firearms purchases, education, basic rights, election processes, and much more.
Why does the Florida Constitution matter, anyway? Think of the Florida Constitution as your contract with the government. Just as with any other contract, you would not want the terms changed without your knowledge or consent. Consider an employment contract, for example. This type of contract specifies your working conditions, benefits and allowable time off, as well as the hours you are expected to work and your job duties. If that contract is changed, it could significantly impact your job and your life. Similarly, your rights and the duties of your government could have been impacted by the CRC. That s why it was so important that you closely followed the constitution revision process. For additional information you can visit the website: https://protectfldemocracy.org/
