400 Floridians Attend Constitution Revision Commission Public Hearing in Orlando

The Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) held its first public hearing on March 29 in Orlando at the University of Central Florida (UCF) as part of its, “Floridians Speak, We Listen” statewide tour. Approximately 400 Floridians attended the hearing, and more than 95 individual Floridians spoke before the Commission to share their ideas. The hearing began at 5:00 PM and extended past the noticed end time through approximately 9:00 PM.

All Floridians who attended the public hearing and wanted to speak were given an opportunity to be heard by the Commission.
