Constitutional amendment to change the deadline to file initiative petitions

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change Nebraska's deadline for filing initiative petitions. It would require that petitions for new laws or constitutional amendments filed on or after July 7, 2028, be submitted to the Secretary of State by the second Wednesday in July before the general election (instead of four months prior). This directly affects citizens and groups seeking to propose new laws or constitutional changes through the initiative process. The current deadline (four months before election) would remain in effect for petitions filed before July 7, 2028.
