The Florida Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) met on Monday October 2nd and advanced two constitutional changes that had been filed by the public.

The full CRC voted to give further consideration to a measure to close the so-called “write-in candidate loophole” in state election law and to an amendment that would remove obsolete language related to a failed high-speed rail plan.

Any proposal submitted by the public must receive at least 10 votes to advance, and both proposals will now be referred to CRC committees for further consideration.

The CRC will meet again on October 17th in Tallahassee to consider advancing other amendments suggested by the public, which still has until Friday October 6th to submit more proposals.  CRC members have until October 31st to file their own proposals.
