Stricken
|
| Description |
DISP-STRICKEN ~ FSC-OPINION: We conclude that the language in the ballot summary indicating that the proposed amendment unqualifiedly "[p]ermits" the use (and distribution) of recreational marijuana is affirmatively misleading. Because the proposed amendment fails to comply with section 101.161(1), Florida Statutes, we strike the proposed amendment.It is so ordered. ***Corrected opinion issued April 29, 2021.***
