RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO GRANT THE POWERS OF DIRECT INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND RECALL.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to give voters direct power to propose new laws (direct initiative), vote on existing laws (referendum), and remove elected officials (recall). If approved, it would change the state constitution to allow all registered voters to directly influence legislation and hold officials accountable without needing legislative action. The amendment would require voter approval in a statewide election to take effect. This is a procedural proposal that would fundamentally alter how citizens participate in state governance.
