An effort to make it harder to change the Florida Constitution is back in the Legislature.
Sen. Ana Maria Rodriguez, R-Doral, on Thursday filed a proposal (SJR 1238) that would ask voters in 2022 to require future constitutional amendments to receive support from two-thirds of voters to pass.
Currently, constitutional amendments can pass with 60 percent of the vote.
An identical proposal (HJR 61) was filed last month in the House by Rep. Rick Roth, R-West Palm Beach. Similar proposals began moving in House and Senate committees in 2019 before stalling in both chambers.
