Published on: 22775520. The purpose of rulemaking is to conform the rule to statutory changes in HB 5 (Chapter 2019-64, Laws of Florida) which amends sections 97.021 and 100.371, Florida Statutes. The law, among other things, requires paid petition circulators to register with the Secretary of State; requires petition forms to be made available to constitutional amendment initiative petition sponsors; requires the Secretary to maintain a paid petition circulator database; requires supervisors of elections to provide specified information to the division of elections; provides requirements for gathering petition forms; provides for the imposition of fines for failure to deliver petition forms within a specified time period and provides for defenses; allows the Secretary of State to refer petition form violations to the Attorney General for enforcement; requires the division of elections to adopt rules; and provides that the date the elector signs a petition form is presumed to be the date the sponsor collected the form. The changes to the rule are to incorporate these various changes in the law.
