Supreme Court of Florida
Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General Re: Raising Florida's Minimum Wage
January 9, 2020
Summary
The court approved the proposed constitutional amendment raising Florida’s minimum wage for placement on the ballot, concluding that it satisfies the single-subject rule and that its ballot title and summary are clear, accurate, and legally sufficient. The court held that it lacks original jurisdiction to review the associated financial impact statement because the Constitution limits its advisory jurisdiction to the validity of initiative petitions, and a financial impact statement is a separate document. The court therefore expressed no opinion on the validity of the financial impact statement.
