Change requirements relating to proposals for constitutional amendments submitted by the Legislature
This bill would update Nebraska law to require a neutral summary of proposed constitutional amendments to be printed on the ballot before voters cast their votes. The summary, prepared by the Legislative Council, must explain the effects of voting for or against the proposal and must be written in clear, concise language without arguments or bias. The bill sets specific deadlines for submitting these summaries, requiring them four months before a general election for regular sessions or sixty days for special sessions, though it exempts proposals placed on the ballot during special elections.
