Purpose


The rule is being amended: 1) to conform the rule to s. 100.371, F.S., which as of 2011 no longer requires that the address provided on the petition be a “street” address. (See s. 23, Ch. 2011-40, Laws of Fla.), 2) to clarify what is required for the format of a petition to be approved, 3) to specify that a translated initiative petition must not be different from the approved English version and must follow the approved format and 4) to replace in rule and the incorporated form DS-DE 19, the inapplicable political disclaimer requirement with requisite name and address of the sponsoring political committee.
