Ballot initiative measure process; revise the statutory provisions of.

SB 2572 would revise Mississippi's initiative process by clarifying that constitutional amendments can only be proposed by the legislature, while citizens retain the right to propose new laws or amend/repeal existing laws through initiative. The bill requires initiative sponsors to specify exact revenue sources and funding impacts in their proposals, and mandates the Secretary of State to send all initiatives to the chief legislative budget officer for a fiscal analysis within 10 days. This analysis must verify revenue claims and assess cost impacts on taxpayers, with the results posted publicly. The bill also repeals provisions allowing the legislature to bypass initiatives via alternative proposals and creates new rules for petition circulators and attorney general reviews.
