PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS
NO. 1
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE X, SECTION 28
Water and Land Conservation Dedicates funds to acquire and restore
Florida conservation and recreation
lands
Funds the Land Acquisition Trust Fund to
acquire, restore, improve, and manage
conservation lands including wetlands and
forests; fish and wildlife habitat; lands
protecting water resources and drinking
water sources, including the Everglades,
and the water quality of rivers, lakes, and
streams; beaches and shores; outdoor
recreational lands; working farms and
ranches; and historic or geologic sites, by
dedicating 33 percent of net revenues from
the existing excise tax on documents for 20
years.
This amendment does not increase or
decrease state revenues. The state
revenue restricted to the purposes specified
in the amendment is estimated to be $648
million in Fiscal Year 2015-16 and grows to
$1.268 billion by the twentieth year.
Whether this results in any additional state
expenditures depends upon future
legislative actions and cannot be
determined. Similarly, the impact on local
government revenues, if any, cannot be
determined. No additional local government
costs are expected.
NO. 3
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE V, SECTIONS 10,11
Prospective Appointment of Certain
Judicial Vacancies
Proposing an amendment to the State
Constitution requiring the Governor to
prospectively fill vacancies in a judicial
office to which election for retention applies
resulting from the justice's or judge's
reaching the mandatory retirement age or
failure to qualify for a retention election; and
allowing prospective appointments if a
justice or judge is not retained at an
election. Currently, the Governor may not fill
an expected vacancy until the current
justice's or judge's term expires.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE X, SECTION 29
Use of Marijuana for Certain Medical
Conditions
Allows the medical use of marijuana for
individuals with debilitating diseases as
determined by a licensed Florida physician.
Allows caregivers to assist patients' medical
use of marijuana. The Department of Health
shall register and regulate centers that
produce and distribute marijuana for
medical purposes and shall issue
identification cards to patients and
caregivers. Applies only to Florida law.
Does not authorize violations of federal law
or any non-medical use, possession or
production of marijuana.
Increased costs from this amendment to
state and local governments cannot be
determined. There will be additional
regulatory and enforcement activities
associated with the production and sale of
medical marijuana. Fees will offset at least
a portion of the regulatory costs. While
sales tax may apply to purchases, changes
in revenue cannot reasonably be
determined since the extent to which
medical marijuana will be exempt from
taxation is unclear without legislative or
state administrative action.
