No initiative petitions filed in Florida for 2012 ballot
From Ballotpedia
February 2, 2012
By Eric Veram
Florida: Yesterday's signature filing deadline passed without a single public petition filing or meeting the qualifications for appearing on the ballot. This essentially means that the only measures voters will get a say in this November, are those proposed by the legislature.[1] However, those measures that did not qualify or gather enough signatures may remain in circulation for some time, with the signatures already acquired being valid for 2 years.
Currently there are 7[2] legislatively-referred measures set to appear on the November 6, 2012 state ballot and are listed below:
| Type | Title | Subject | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| LRCA | Amendment 1 | Health care | Prevents penalties for not purchasing health care coverage in order to comply with federal health care reforms |
| LRCA | Amendment 2 | Taxes | Would allow for property tax discounts for disabled veterans |
| LRCA | Amendment 3 | State budgets | Replaces existing revenue limits with a new limitation based on inflation and population changes |
| LRCA | Amendment 4 | Taxes | Would amend commercial and non-homestead property taxes |
| LRCA | Amendment 5 | Judicial reform | Would modify the existing State Supreme Court |
| LRCA | Amendment 6 | Abortion | Prohibits public funds for abortions |
| LRCA | Amendment 8 | Religion | Repeals ban of public dollars for religious funding |
