Florida judge orders rewrite of property tax ballot language
TL;DR
A Tallahassee judge ruled the proposed Florida property tax amendment language is misleading and must be rewritten by the attorney general before it can appear on the November ballot. The ruling preserves a $250,000 homestead exemption but requires corrections to the title, summary, and several provisions, with a 10-day deadline for the rewrite and potential subsequent challenges from plaintiffs.
