FL S1452

Creates a new constitutional provision allowing Florida citizens to propose and enact laws directly through initiative petitions, bypassing the legislature and governor

Requires petition signatures from 4% of voters in each of one-half of congressional districts and 4% statewide (based on the previous presidential election turnout) to qualify a legislative initiative for the ballot

Prohibits initiatives that affect judicial structure, court jurisdiction, laws requiring supermajority legislative votes, or boundary changes for municipalities, counties, or districts

Protects voter-approved initiative laws from easy legislative reversal by requiring a 4/5 vote of each chamber to amend or repeal within one year, or a 3/5 vote after one year

Mandates the legislature establish procedures by July 1, 2021, and requires the Florida Supreme Court to review initiative petitions for validity before they appear on the ballot
