Florida’s equivalent to the GA “Marcy’s Law” amendment is Amendment 13. I voted no on this one.

I have a fundamental negative reaction to putting Constitutional Amendments on the ballot for voter approval. Voters (the public) cannot be as well versed in the nuances of a particular amendment, especially when there are 12 or 13 of them on the ballot. The end result of ballot-passed amendments can, and sometimes do, result in lousy law. Kind of a mob choice affect. We elect State Reps to represent us and to do the necessary staff work to pass sensible laws. The Legislature is where the Constitutional Amendment process belongs.

And my apologies, the Marcy’s Law equivalent in FL is Amendment 6.
