The document proposes to amend the Florida Constitution by requiring a REFERENDA to amend a local Government Comprehensive and Land Use Plan.  It transfers the power to amend from elected officials to the voters.

According to Lesley G. Blackner, Esq., and Ross S. Burnaman, Esq., co-founders of FHTD, both the Florida Supreme and US Supreme Courts have ruled that voters may have the final say on proposed land use changes within their communities.  Its up to the voters to seize the opportunity given to them by these court decisons.

If you look at frequently asked questions (FAQ) of when will elections be held, it will not require special elections, rather at next regularly scheduled local election.  If applicant requesting an amendment wants a special election, it would be at their expense.

The voters have an opportunity to determine Florida's Land Use Plan decisisions.  Voters will then be able to better control what changes are acceptable in their hometowns.  Take advantage of it!
