AI Summary

  • Proposes amendment to Florida Constitution Section 8, Article III to establish a 90-day deadline for Legislature to reconsider vetoed specific appropriations from general appropriation bills after Governor files objections.

  • Requires vetoed specific appropriations from the general revenue fund that are not legislatively reinstated within the 90-day period to be transferred to the budget stabilization fund.

  • Specifies that amounts transferred to the budget stabilization fund from unreinstated vetoed appropriations cannot be counted toward the fund's principal balance limitation under Section 19(g) of Article III.
