Maddy summaryThis bill proposes amending the state constitution to require that only U.S. citizens may vote in elections. It would replace the current voting eligibility language with a specific provision stating "Only citizens shall be entitled to vote," while maintaining existing requirements that voters must be at least 18 years old and residents of the state and their local area for 30 days prior to an election. The key change directly affects voting eligibility by restricting the right to vote to citizens, removing any existing non-citizen voting provisions. If passed, this would be a constitutional change, not a temporary law, requiring approval through the standard amendment process.
Maddy summaryThis bill amends the state constitution to allow the legislature to adjust the number of justices on the supreme court in any judicial district. It sets a population-based limit: the number of justices cannot exceed one per 50,000 residents (or any fraction over 30,000) based on the latest census. The legislature may also reduce justices, but not below the current number in any district. The proposed change requires voter approval in the 2026 general election.
Maddy summaryThis bill amends the state constitution to establish clear rules for filling vacancies in federal elected offices, primarily affecting U.S. House and Senate seats. It requires special elections for House vacancies occurring before July 1st of the final year of a term, to be held 70-80 days after the governor’s proclamation, and specifies that Senate vacancies must be filled by temporary appointment until a designated date (e.g., January 3rd following the next even-numbered year). If a special election isn’t held as required, the vacancy is filled at the next general election. These changes ensure consistent timelines for federal office vacancies while aligning with existing election schedules.
Maddy summaryThis bill amends the state constitution to explicitly allow the legislature to authorize "pool-selling without profit" - meaning community or social betting pools (like those for sports events) where organizers don't take a cut. It directly affects individuals or groups organizing such non-commercial betting pools by creating a legal pathway for them. The key provision adds this specific exception to the constitutional ban on gambling, requiring the legislature to pass laws governing these non-profit pools. It does not authorize commercial gambling or change existing rules for state lotteries, horse racing betting, or casinos.
