FL S1338

Proposes creating Section 22 of Article III to authorize Florida voters to propose and enact legislation through initiative, bypassing the legislature and governor.

Requires initiative petitions to be signed by electors equal to 4 percent of votes cast in at least half of Florida's congressional districts and statewide in the most recent presidential election.

Prohibits initiatives from addressing judicial appointments, court jurisdiction, laws requiring extraordinary legislative votes, and municipal or district boundary changes.

Requires the legislature to establish procedures for initiatives by July 1, 2023, and mandates the Florida Supreme Court review initiative petitions for validity before they appear on the ballot.

Laws enacted by initiative cannot be vetoed by the governor and may only be amended or repealed by a four-fifths legislative vote within one year or three-fifths vote thereafter.
