Pursuant to the provisions of article IV, section 10, Florida Constitution, and

the proposed ballot title and substance comply with section 101.161, Florida
Statutes.
Section 16.061, Florida Statutes, requires the Attorney General, within thirty
days after receipt of the proposed amendment or revision to the State Constitution
by initiative petition, to petition this Honorable Court for an advisory opinion
regarding compliance of the text of the proposed amendment with article XI,

accordance with the provisions of Chapter 04-33, Laws of Florida, forwarded to

Statutes.
