Legislature: legislators; requirements for bill passage; modify. Amends sec. 26, art. IV of the state constitution.
This bill proposes amending Michigan's state constitution to require two-thirds approval from each legislative house for certain bills passed after November elections in even-numbered years. It directly affects bills considered during sessions following those elections, raising the threshold from a simple majority to a supermajority. The key provision modifies constitutional language to mandate that such bills cannot become law without two-thirds support in both the House and Senate, while maintaining existing requirements for bill printing, reading, and journaling. This change would apply specifically to bills introduced after the November general election in even-numbered years.
