Leon County, Florida
My vote power: High

What does this measure do?

Leon County would let county rules adopted after January 1, 2027 take priority when they conflict with city rules, where state law allows it. This changes which local government's rule applies; the measure does not itself set a tax or require new spending.

Proposed by: Leon County Board of County Commissioners (charter amendment ordinance)

The county's elected commission proposed this change by ordinance. The county charter is the county's rulebook; changes to it need approval from county voters.

Keep the current charter rule on conflicts between county and city ordinances.
