DeSantis proposes Florida ballot changes affecting gambling expansion initiatives
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proposed changes to the state’s citizen-led ballot process that would restrict signature collection and make it harder to place constitutional amendments before voters. The proposals could impede gambling-expansion initiatives, which require voter approval; DeSantis said the changes would limit the influence of wealthy special-interest groups.
The proposed signature rules could make it harder for gambling businesses to pursue voter-led market expansion in Florida.
