The Attorney General, pursuant to the provisions of Article IV, section 10, Florida Constitution, and section 16.061, Florida Statutes, has requested this Court's opinion as to whether the text of the proposed amendment by the People United for Medical Marijuana complies with Article XI, section 3, Florida Constitution, and whether the proposed ballot title and substance comply with section 101.161, Florida Statutes.

The Attorney General's letter is attached hereto as an exhibit and made a part thereof.
IT IS, THEREFORE, the order of the Court that interested parties shall file their briefs on or before November 8, 2013, and serve a copy thereof on the Attorney General.

Based on the foregoing, we conclude that the initiative petition and ballot title and summary satisfy the legal requirements of article XI, section 3, of the Florida Constitution, and section 101.161(1), Florida Statutes. In addition, the Financial Impact Statement is in compliance with section 100.371(5), Florida Statutes. We therefore approve the proposed amendment and Financial Impact Statement for placement on the ballot. It is so ordered.
