Proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting a statutory initiative measure approved by the voters to be amended or repealed by the General Assembly except under certain conditions
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would limit the General Assembly's ability to change or repeal laws created by citizen initiatives. Under the new rule, the legislature could only alter or cancel these voter-approved measures if more than six years have passed, if three-fourths of lawmakers in both chambers vote for the change, or if the proposed change is also approved by voters at the next election. The measure is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and requires voter approval to become law.
