The Florida Association of Counties (the “Association”) is a non-partisan, not-for-profit, voluntary organization of Florida’s 67 counties, which was organized to protect, promote, and improve the mutual interests of all Florida counties.

The proposed amendment will negatively affect the interests of counties throughout Florida. It will drastically reduce revenues, diminish home rule power, and impair existing contracts.
