Constitution Revision Commission 

​(CRC)


Background Information on the CRC

The Florida Constitution mandates the formation of a Constitution Revision Commission every 20 years for the purpose of examining and proposing amendments to the state's constitution.  The current commission was appointed in 2017; the amendments it is proposing will be placed on the ballot in November 2018.  Florida is the only state that has a commission which meets on a set schedule and puts items directly on the ballot for ratification by the voters.

The CRC is comprised of 37 members:  the Attorney General of Florida, plus 15 members appointed by the Governor, 9 appointed by the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, 9 appointed by the President of the Florida Senate, and 3 appointed by the Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court. 

This process is summarized in the
 CRC Timeline.
