Bill Summary
Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution to increase the percentage of elector votes required to approve an amendment to or a revision of the State Constitution from 60 percent to 66.67 percent, except that the repeal of an amendment or revision need only be approved by the same percentage of elector votes as was required at the time of passage of such amendment or revision, etc.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the State Constitution to increase the threshold for approving constitutional amendments or revisions. Currently, 60 percent of the votes cast by electors (voters) are needed to pass such changes. This resolution would raise that requirement to 66.67 percent, meaning two-thirds of the voters would need to approve any amendment or revision. However, there's an exception: if the goal is to repeal a previously passed amendment or revision, it would only require the same percentage of voter approval that was needed when that amendment or revision was originally adopted. This change aims to ensure broader public support for significant alterations to the state's foundational law.
