MIAMI, FL — August 24, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — The proposal commonly referred to as “Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes” could significantly affect Florida homeowners, investors, second-home owners, and commercial property owners. Among the proposed changes are a much larger homestead exemption and a lower annual assessment cap for many non-homestead properties.

But there is an important distinction: Florida voters still have to approve the constitutional amendment in November 2026.

Where things stand today

The proposal has two related parts.

CS/HJR 1-F is a proposed constitutional amendment that will go before Florida voters in the November 3, 2026 general election. It contains the major changes affecting homestead exemptions and assessment caps. To become effective, the amendment must receive at least 60% voter approval.

CS/SB 4-F, on the other hand, has already been enacted. It became effective June 24, 2026, and changes certain rules governing local property tax rates and property tax administration.

The key point for property owners is simple: the larger homestead exemption and lower non-homestead assessment cap will not take effect unless voters approve CS/HJR 1-F.

If approved, the constitutional amendment would take effect January 1, 2027.

A much larger homestead exemption

Today, qualifying Florida homeowners can generally receive a homestead exemption of up to $50,000, although the exemption applies differently to school and non-school property taxes.

Under the proposed amendment, qualifying homeowners could receive a substantially larger exemption from non-school property taxes.

Beginning in 2027, the exemption would cover up to $150,000 of assessed value. In 2028, it would increase to as much as $250,000, with inflation adjustments beginning thereafter.

That does not mean a homeowner would pay no property taxes on the first $250,000 of value. School district taxes are treated differently and would not receive the expanded exemption.

In practical terms, the proposal is designed primarily to reduce the county, municipal, and other non-school portions of a qualifying homeowner’s property tax bill.

How much would a homeowner actually save? That depends on the property’s assessed value, local millage rates, school and non-school taxes, and other property-specific factors.

What about rental properties, second homes, and commercial property?

The proposal is not limited to homestead owners.

CS/HJR 1-F would also reduce the annual assessment cap for many non-homestead residential and non-residential properties from 10% to 5%.

That could be important for owners of rental properties, second homes, investment properties, and certain commercial properties because it would limit how quickly their assessed values can increase from year to year.

However, a lower assessment cap does not necessarily mean a lower tax bill. Property taxes still depend on taxable value, local millage rates, and other factors.

The five-year residency rule

One of the most important parts of the proposal concerns Florida residency.

Under the proposal, people who maintained permanent Florida residence as of December 31, 2026, and otherwise qualify for homestead, could receive the expanded non-school homestead exemption beginning in 2027.

Someone who becomes a permanent Florida resident after December 31, 2026 would generally not receive the full increased exemption immediately.

Instead, the homeowner would initially receive the more limited homestead exemption. Beginning with the fifth year of the exemption, the homeowner could become eligible for the larger exemption then available to qualifying Florida homeowners.

This provision has understandably raised an important question for people considering a move to Florida.

Should you become a Florida resident before the end of 2026?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer.

The December 31, 2026 date could become important if the amendment passes, but changing residency should not be based on property taxes alone.

Establishing Florida residency involves much more than obtaining a Florida driver’s license or filing a declaration of domicile. Where you actually live, family and employment connections, business activities, estate planning, insurance, and tax considerations may all be relevant.

For someone already considering a move to Florida, the proposed property tax changes may be another factor worth evaluating. But residency decisions should be considered as part of a broader legal, tax, estate, and financial plan.

A future article will look more closely at what it actually means to establish Florida residency and the steps people should consider before making that change.

What Property Owners Should Watch Next

The most important date is November 3, 2026, when Florida voters are scheduled to consider the constitutional amendment.

Until then, property owners should distinguish between what has already become law under CS/SB 4-F and what is still proposed under CS/HJR 1-F.

If the amendment receives the required voter approval, the new constitutional provisions are scheduled to take effect January 1, 2027.

For people considering buying or selling Florida property, establishing Florida residency, or restructuring real estate holdings, these changes may become an important part of the planning conversation, but they should not be treated as guaranteed until the voters have spoken.

Additional resources

For official information and future updates, property owners can review the Florida Senate materials for CS/HJR 1-F — Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes, CS/SB 4-F — Property Tax Administration, and property tax guidance published by the Florida Department of Revenue.

NEW YORK, NY — August 24, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — A new school year means there’s more traffic around school campuses. Between dropoffs and pickups, children riding bicycles, walking to school and all the shuttling between sports practices and other extracurricular activities, this season is a reminder to make every trip to and from school a safe one.

To make sure no parent worries about their child getting to school safely, the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and Caltrans are encouraging drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists to remember their “ABCs” on every trip: stay Alert for Bicyclists and watch for and yield to Children crossing the street.

With students in school and traffic patterns changing, consider these tips so students arrive to and from class safely:

Drivers

Because children outside of vehicles do not have the same protections as drivers and passengers, drivers have an outsized role to protect people walking, biking and rolling.

• Take your time and be patient.
• Always follow the speed limit.
• Use extra caution at crosswalks and intersections, especially if you notice children nearby.
• Don’t drive distracted – even a quick glance at your phone can have tragic consequences.
• Never drive while impaired.
• Adjust your driving to the conditions and use extra caution in rain, fog and darkness.
• If you see a bicyclist ahead, wait until it’s safe to pass and give them at least 3 feet of space when you do.

Pedestrians

Pedestrians have an important role in their own safety, particularly in school zones and crosswalks where children and other people may be present.

• Use sidewalks when available. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic so you can see drivers and they can see you.
• Avoid crossing outside of crosswalks. If there is a signalized crosswalk or marked crosswalk, use it.
• Before crossing the street, look both ways. If there are any stopped or turning cars, try to make eye contact with the drivers before crossing so you know they see you.
• If you’re walking after dark or when visibility is poor, make yourself visible by wearing something bright or reflective and shining a light.
• Stay alert – don’t wear headphones or use your phone while crossing the street or walking across a busy road.

Bicyclists

Bicyclists can help protect themselves by staying alert and visible, especially in areas where traffic, pedestrians and young students may be present.

• When possible, plan your route along bike paths or roads with dedicated bike lanes away from vehicle traffic.
• Equip your bicycle with lights and reflectors to be more visible to drivers and pedestrians.
• Wear a properly fitted helmet and bright clothing.
• Learn cyclist hand signals to communicate when you’re turning, slowing or stopping.
• Stay aware of drivers and always yield to pedestrians.

E-Bike Safety Tips

With more young people using e-bikes than ever before, it’s important that riders and their parents or guardians understand the risks involved and make smart, safe choices.

Since e-bikes can travel at faster speeds than traditional bicycles, they pose greater risk for serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Class 1 and 2 e-bikes can both travel at up to 20 mph unassisted, while Class 3 e-bikes can go as fast as 28 mph unassisted.

E-bike rules vary based on the top unassisted speed, but parents and guardians should follow these tips for e-bikes:

• Many local ordinances and state laws restrict e-bike use for minors or require special licensing.
• Helmets are required for riders under age 18 for Class 1-2 e-bikes and all riders on Class 3 e-bikes, regardless of age.
• You must be 16 years or older to ride a Class 3 e-bike.
• Never ride e-bikes that don’t have pedals as they could be considered e-motos and not legally permitted on roads.
• Ride in bike lanes or on legal paths, avoiding roads with traffic when possible.
• Be as predictable as possible and use caution when making turns, crossing streets or riding in conditions with poor visibility.

E-bike rules may vary by state and regionally. Contact local law enforcement regarding local laws.

WASHINGTON, DC — August 21, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — HCN Global is expanding its Leadership for a Culture of Health webinars with a second series of programming developed in partnership with the Society for Health Communication (SHC). The new series will bring health communicators, community leaders, health workers and advocates together to explore structural barriers to preventive care and maternal health—and practical ways communications can help communities navigate those barriers and advocate for change.

Leadership for a Culture of Health is part of HCN Global’s broader Culture of Health / la Cultura de Salud initiative, which initially started as a multicultural, bilingual multimedia program addressing social determinants of health affecting Latino and Black communities across the United States.

Series Two builds on the first Leadership for a Culture of Health installment, launched earlier this year to help community leaders recognize, discuss and address structural racism and its impact on health. The next phase turns to two additional areas where systemic barriers continue to drive inequitable outcomes: access to preventive care and maternal and reproductive health. Across both topics, the series will also examine the effects of chronic stress and systemic barriers on mental health, well-being and community resilience.

“Culture of Health / la Cultura de Salud has always been about turning awareness into action, and this next peer-to-peer learning series does that. Community leaders and health communicators are on the front lines of these conversations promoting equitable solutions every day. Our job is to make sure they have the tools, the language, and confidence to meet the moment,” says Alison Rodden, CEO, HCN Global.

Webinars focused on health equity and action

Hosted by the Society for Health Communication in partnership with HCN Global, the two webinars pair expert perspectives with practical frameworks and real-world examples that participants can apply in their own organizations and communities. Both sessions are free and open to health communicators, community leaders, health workers, advocates, and others working with communities affected by health inequities.

• Preventive Care & Healthcare Navigation – August 28, 2026
  This session will examine how factors including health coverage, language access, transportation, and immigration-related concerns can affect access to preventive care. Participants will explore ways community leaders and health communicators can help reduce barriers, improve navigation, and connect people with trusted information and resources.
  Register: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nKtYoT6uSYWUbJqX6JrAnQ
• Maternal & Reproductive Health – November 2026
  This session will explore disparities in maternal health outcomes, with particular attention to Black and Latina mothers and infants, and examine communications and systems-level approaches that support healthier outcomes. Speakers and registration details will be announced closer to the session.

Extending the Impact Beyond the Webinars

The partnership brings together HCN Global’s longstanding experience in culturally grounded health communications and community engagement with SHC’s national network of health communication professionals.

Through the partnership, SHC and HCN Global will extend the reach of the series across professional and community networks, including La Red Hispana, Melanin Thriving, and LatinEQUIS, while connecting participants with resources that can support continued learning and action beyond the live sessions. Both webinars will also be recorded and made available on demand.

“Preventive care and maternal health are two of the clearest examples of how structural barriers show up in everyday outcomes — and health communicators have a real role to play in closing those gaps. This partnership with HCN Global gives our members culturally grounded examples and tools they can use, not just another conversation about the problem.” – Dana Chomenko MA, PMP, Executive Director, Society for Health Communication

HCN Global has dedicated webpages that continue to house resources designed to help community leaders and organizers continue this work beyond the live sessions. Resources for Latino and Black audiences are available through LatinEQUIS at wearelatinequis.com/leadership-for-a-culture-of-health and Melanin Thriving at melaninthriving.com/leadership-for-culture-of-health. Additional Spanish-language resources can be found on La Red Hispana at laredhispana.org/liderazgo-para-una-cultura-de-salud/.

Through La Red Hispana, LatinEQUIS, and Melanin Thriving, HCN Global reaches 10+ million people weekly across multicultural and rural multimedia, trusted local leaders, and health worker networks in the US and beyond.

DALLAS, TX — August 19, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — reVolver Podcasts, a leading multicultural audio-on-demand content creator and distributor, today announced the launch of Match o Menos, a new weekly Spanish-language comedy and video podcast starring renowned Colombian impressionist, comedian and television personality Camilo Cifuentes.

Cifuentes is joined by comedian and actor Saya, with Isabella Cifuentes also participating in the program. Together, they welcome friends, special guests and unexpected visitors for lively conversations about current events, entertainment, Latino culture and the everyday experiences that connect Spanish-speaking audiences.

New episodes are released every Wednesday.

The title Match o Menos plays with the idea of finding a “match,” but each encounter can bring together different personalities, opinions, generations and stories. Some guests may match perfectly; others may not. Either way, the conversation can begin with one subject and end somewhere entirely unexpected.

“Camilo Cifuentes is an extraordinary entertainer whose creativity, versatility and ability to connect with audiences have made him one of the most distinctive voices in Spanish-language comedy,” said Jack Hobbs, President of reVolver Podcasts. “Together with Saya and Isabella, he has created a spontaneous and culturally relevant show that feels like being invited into a home where the conversation is lively, the door is always open and anything can happen.”

At the center of the program is Cifuentes’ extensive repertoire of impressions and original characters. A guest may arrive expecting a traditional interview but quickly find the conversation interrupted by a familiar personality, an improvised comedy scene or an unexpected character brought to life through Cifuentes’ vocal and physical performance.

Saya contributes his experience as a comedian and actor, responding to Cifuentes’ characters and helping transform ordinary conversations into spontaneous comedy. Isabella adds another perspective to the group, creating opportunities to explore generational differences, family dynamics and contrasting reactions to the same situation.

The result is a flexible, personality-driven format that combines prepared topics with improvisation. Episodes may explore relationships, social habits, work, family, entertainment or current events, but the real comedy comes from the chemistry among the hosts, guests and characters.

Comedy Rooted in Latino Culture

Match o Menos reflects the animated and unpredictable way conversations often unfold among Latino families and friends. Stories grow with every retelling, opinions arrive with personality, new subjects appear without warning and a simple observation can become a complete comedy scene.

The program is created in Spanish for audiences in the United States, Colombia, Latin America and around the world. Its humor draws from familiar cultural references, expressions and shared experiences while remaining accessible to anyone who enjoys improvisation, memorable characters and lively conversation.

The show is also designed as a visual experience. Its video format allows audiences to see the expressions, gestures, physical transformations and reactions that are central to Cifuentes’ comedy. Viewers can watch the moment he becomes a new personality, Saya’s response to an unexpected character and the guests’ reactions as the conversation changes direction.

Camilo Cifuentes Brings His Characters to Podcasting

Born in Popayán, Colombia, Cifuentes began developing his talent for imitation by observing relatives, classmates, neighbors and public personalities. Throughout his career, he has become known for bringing more than 100 characters to life through vocal precision, physical performance, music and close observation.

His professional credits include appearances and participation in popular Colombian productions such as Día a Día, Sábados Felices, Festival Internacional del Humor, La Vuelta al Mundo en 80 Risas, Tu Cara Me Suena, Yo Me Llamo and the radio comedy and current-affairs program Voz Populi.

Cifuentes is also a physician by training and practiced medicine before dedicating himself fully to entertainment. His unusual professional background, combined with decades of experience in television, radio and live performance, has shaped a comedic style built on careful observation and an understanding of human behavior.

“I’m really excited about this partnership with reVolver Podcasts because it allows us to bring conversations, humor, stories, sketches, situations, and reflections to a much wider audience, especially the Latino audience; now through podcasts. It’s a very special space because it’s based on something I love: coming together through our differences, through ideas, and through humor. You can’t miss it.” Camilo Cifuentes, Match o Menos.

Match o Menos gives Cifuentes the freedom to bring that experience into a conversational format where impressions and characters can appear naturally. Rather than following the limits of a traditional interview, the program allows each discussion to develop according to the chemistry of the people in the room.

“Camilo understands that audiences want more than a series of jokes,” Hobbs added. “They want authenticity, personality and the feeling that they are part of the conversation. Match o Menos delivers that experience while showcasing the remarkable range of a performer who can turn one conversation into an entire cast of characters.”

Expanding reVolver’s Spanish-Language Programming

The addition of Match o Menos expands reVolver Podcasts’ Spanish-language entertainment portfolio and reinforces the company’s commitment to elevating multicultural voices.

From its headquarters in Dallas, reVolver Podcasts develops and distributes culturally relevant programming for audiences in the United States and around the world. Match o Menos introduces Cifuentes’ comedy to new listeners and viewers while giving longtime fans another way to experience his impressions, characters and distinctive point of view.

New episodes of Match o Menos are released every Wednesday and are available free through reVolver Podcasts and major podcast platforms.
