A proposal to raise the threshold for amending the Florida Constitution is headed to the House floor.
The measure (
HJR 61), itself a proposed constitutional amendment, would put a question to voters whether there should be a two-thirds majority requirement for future proposed constitutional amendments to pass. Since 2006, it has taken a 60% majority to approve an amendment.
The House Judiciary Committee voted 13-6, along party lines, to give the measure its second and final approval in the committee process.

Scaled-Back Bill Targets Florida Port Regulations


TALLAHASSEE --- Most seaports in the state were removed Wednesday from legislation that seeks to block local governments from enacting rules on port operations, an issue stemming from a vote last year in Key West that placed limits on cruise ships.
The House Tourism, Infrastructure & Energy Subcommittee voted 12-6 to approve a revised measure (HB 267) that would only block local regulations at municipal-run ports in Pensacola, Panama City, Key West and St. Petersburg.
In the decision to remove other ports from the bill, Rep. Rick Roth, a West Palm Beach Republican whose district is just north of the Port of Palm Beach, said lawmakers were trying to solve the issue “more with a scalpel than with a sledgehammer.”

Publix, the most prominent private partner in Florida’s vaccine distribution network, strongly disputed a news report insinuating the company had been allowed to operate with little oversight.
The company’s corporate office offered strong words in response to a Miami Herald report regarding the supermarket’s COVID-19 vaccination program.
“From the beginning of the vaccination rollout at Publix pharmacies, Publix has been in direct and constant contact with the state, requesting direction and frequently detailing vaccination plans at our stores,” reads a statement from the Lakeland-based grocery chain.

Feb. 12—TALLAHASSEE — Florida's top auditor told a House committee that the state probe into the compensation of executive salaries at social welfare organizations was not "any kind of witch hunt" but instead was an attempt at "bringing transparency to the process" of state and federal funds used by privately run entities.
"We are on a fact-finding mission, doing research so that the policymakers such as yourselves can decide what to do with the facts that we reveal," Melinda Miguel, the chief inspector general for Gov. Ron DeSantis, told the House Governmental Operations Subcommittee on Wednesday.
