AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to modify the provisions governing the submission of proposed constitutional amendments to the state's qualified electors. The key changes include removing the requirement for proposed amendments to be submitted at the first "municipal or" general election, and specifying that the election for proposed amendments shall occur at least three months after the amendments have been agreed to by the state legislature. The bill also provides that the proposed amendments shall be printed on the ballots in a brief form determined by the Secretary of the Commonwealth with the approval of the Attorney General.
