TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2014 Florida lawmakers fast-tracked Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019 plan to put property tax cuts on the November ballot, with both the House and Senate passing it early Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The plan would raise the state\u2019s $50,000 homestead exemptions to $250,000. <\/p>\n

The governor is not getting everything that he wanted as the bill heads to his desk: The biggest change is that school funding is protected, meaning property taxes will not go away entirely.<\/p>\n

Changes also include removing a trust fund for struggling smaller counties, which had no funding source to begin with and taking away money earmarked for the state to sell the plan to voters.<\/p>\n

DeSantis faced scrutiny in 2024 for using taxpayer funds to campaign against ballot measures legalizing marijuana and protecting abortion rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cVoters deserve to know what they\u2019re voting on without bias,\u201d State Sen. Lori Berman, D-Boca Raton, said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

And the elephant in the room: Why this? Why now, with so many details left open?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy the rush? Why three days? Why not ask for actual numbers?\u201d State Rep. Robin Bartleman, D-Weston, asked.<\/p>\n

State Rep. Toby Overdorf, R-Martin County, responded, \u201cWe have been working on this issue for over a year and a half. We have met with people from Pensacola to Key West. However, we currently have a proposal from the governor, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re hearing during this special session.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skeptics have raised concerns about shortfalls for critical government services. <\/p>\n

But Republicans have criticized how local governments spend taxpayer funds.<\/p>\n

As with any amendment to the state constitution, it would require 60% of the vote to pass in November.<\/p>\n
