A Florida administrative committee decided earlier this week on a financial impact statement that must appear alongside Amendment 4 on ballots. ... The supposedly nonpartisan committee that drafted it included an economist from the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, the group behind Project 2025.
It's ridiculous.
This is uncharted territory. The law to require financial impact for Florida amendments is a total rewrite for 2024 after the original was repealed in 2020. Before we didn't see the information on the ballot, just the amendment.
Now the new law states:
3. If the financial impact statement estimates an indeterminate financial impact or if the members of the Financial Impact Estimating Conference are unable to agree on the statement required by this subsection, the ballot must include the statement required by s. 101.161(1)(d).
