Two amendments slid right through, passing with a good majority with far less attention than some measures Floridians voted on.
Amendment 5 is going to put some more money in your pockets, but could be at the cost of others.
This amendment will help you save on future taxes on your home, adjusting exemptions for inflation.
You have to own it and live in it full-time, but it increases your homestead tax break with the cost of living.
For example, if your homestead exemption is $25,000 and inflation in the state is 8%, your exemption would be raised to $27,000.
Here's the thing, if owners aren't paying than that money has to come from somewhere. Some opponents say this could come at the cost of renters overtime who are not getting that break.
Then we have a curious new addition, Amendment 2. It's the right to hunt and fish in Florida.
State law already gives you that right, but now it forever "preserves the right."
It also includes "the use of traditional methods," and "preferred means of responsibly managing and controlling fish and wildlife."
This line worries conservation groups with what exactly it could mean. Does it mean foreign commercial crews can fish in our open state water? What about trespassing on private land for hunting? Or what if a panther comes on your property?
Both of these amendments now being added to Florida's constitution passed with more than 65% of voters, and both go into effect at the beginning of January, 2025.
