Florida Republicans work on DeSantis’s property tax cut ballot measure

Florida Legislature is in a special session to address Gov. Ron DeSantis's proposed property tax cut, which aims to increase homestead exemptions from $50,000 to $250,000. The plan includes a constitutional amendment requiring 60% voter approval and a residency rule for new homeowners, while concerns about budget shortfalls for schools and local services have been raised. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved an amendment to secure funding for public school districts.
