Governor Ron DeSantis has expressed opposition to a proposed amendment. This amendment would alter the limit on a key reserve fund. The current cap is 10 percent of general fund revenue from the previous year, and the proposal would raise this to 25 percent.
DeSantis has stated that the existing reserve fund is already at its maximum and that the state has seen significant surpluses. He suggests that any additional revenue should be used to reduce taxes. Further information about the amendment and the governor's stance is available from the source, including his comments on the proposal and its potential impact.
