On May 27, DeSantis called for state lawmakers, a Republican majority, to pass a ballot measure to raise the state\u2019s $50,000 homestead exemptions to $250,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith five-days notice and a 72-hour session, this legislature is being asked to dramatically reshape our entire state financial landscape,\u201d Florida Sen. Lori Berman said during a news conference. <\/p>\n

Some have concerns about local governments\u2019 services, and public schools suffering budget shortfalls as a result of the revenue loss. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re still getting a lot of money, way more than they did seven years ago,\u201d DeSantis said on May 27 about property values increasing. <\/p>\n

The Florida Senate Appropriations Committee approved an amendment on Monday to secure funding for the state\u2019s public school districts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI personally would like to see a school carve out,\u201d Republican Florida Rep. Alex Rizo said, adding that some of his colleagues shared his position. <\/p>\n

Florida Rep. Ashley Gantt was among the Democrats who did not support the measure despite this change. <\/p>\n

DeSantis also suggested that the exemption not apply to homeowners who move to Florida after November until they have established residency for five years. <\/p>\n

The plan would include a constitutional amendment on the November ballot. It has to be approved by at least 60% of the state\u2019s voters. <\/p>\n
