SPB 7016 by the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee and HB 1205 by Representative Jenna Persons-Mulicka are the bills that are moving through committees focused on restricting the citizen-led amendment process at this point in the legislative session. These approaches are very different but both represent dire threats to the citizen-led amendment process in Florida. Please take 60 seconds to urge your state legislators to oppose attacks on the citizen-led amendment process.

The League advocates for issues but does not support or oppose any candidates for office. Every League Board of Directors at each level is required to have a non-partisan policy. The League does not have a single policy that covers all Leagues. A link to the nonpartisan policy of the LWV of the Cooperstown area is available on our website.
