The Republican-backed measure (SB 1794) would impose a series of new restrictions on ballot initiatives, including increasing the signature threshold triggering Florida Supreme Court reviews.

The proposal would require increasing a 10 percent statewide signature threshold to 25 percent for court review and require meeting thresholds in half of the congressional districts, rather than the current requirement of one-quarter of the districts. Also, the proposal would give the Florida Supreme Court the authority to decide whether an initiative is “facially invalid” under the U.S. Constitution.
