| This measure was not put on an election ballot |
A Florida Government Accountability Amendment did not make the November 6, 2012 ballot in the state of Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment. If enacted this measure would have given the state legislature power over the other branches of government. The legislature would then be subject to the Florida Commission on Ethics, which would have had the authority to investigate, prosecute and penalize all state and local government officers, including judges. The amendment was introduced by Justice -2- Jesus on January 18, 2011.[1]
