The Florida Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) is a 37-member commission provided for in the state constitution that reviews and proposes changes to the Florida Constitution. The CRC refers constitutional amendments directly to the ballot for a public vote, which makes the commission unique amongst the states as Florida is the only state with a commission empowered to refer constitutional amendments to the ballot and they are NOT required to go through the same process as the citizens are to place an amendment on the ballot. Politically appointed, the 37 members commission are appointed under Section 2 of Article XI of the Florida Constitution providing for the automatic membership of the state attorney general. Other members are appointed as follows:
- Governor appoints 15 commissioners, including the commission chair.
- President of the Senate appoints nine commissioners.
- Speaker of the House of Representatives appoints nine commissioners.
- Chief justice of the state Supreme Court appoints three commissioners.
