State Rep. Michelle Salzman has scuttled her bill, HJR 19, to put a constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot that would set term limits.
- On Tuesday, the lawmaker filed a new bill, HB 57, that matches up with a similar bill in the Florida Senate that would have state lawmakers decide the issue with going before Florida voters.
From Tallahassee source: “It sounds like she copied the wrong bill and rushed to file it before being told by her senate partner what his plan was. Because cases have stated that counties can limit their own commission terms, there’ll be a question maybe about whether the legislature can set it.”
