Constitution Revision Commission

Following its last meeting in 2018, the Constitution Revision Commission, often called the CRC, met criticism when it bundled topics like vaping and oil drilling, or took up subjects lawmakers had long been working to address, like dog racing.

Today state lawmakers came a step close to getting rid of Florida’s constitution revision commission. The group last met in 2017 and added seven amendments to the constitution, five covering multiple subjects. They were created in 1968 before there were other ways to amend the constitution. Long-time lobbyist Barbara Devane says the group no longer serves its initial purpose.
