A proposed bill in the Florida House of Representatives would change the amendment process for the state constitution, increasing the threshold as a proposed amendment regarding abortion could end up on the ballot.

Republican state Rep. Rick Roth has proposed moving the threshold for passing amendments to the state constitution from 60% to 66.67%, or two-thirds majority, of voters in the Sunshine State. The bill, HJR 335, has been proposed by Roth several times, but the bill has new life due to constitutional amendments passing in other states by narrow margins.
