Bill > SJR2

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Alaska State Constitution that changes the voting requirements for overriding gubernatorial vetoes. Currently, revenue and appropriation bills require a three-fourths vote to override a veto, while other bills require a different threshold. The proposed amendment would standardize the veto override process, requiring a two-thirds vote of the legislature's membership to override any vetoed bill. The resolution also maintains existing provisions about when vetoed bills must be reconsidered, such as during a regular legislative session or within five days of the next regular or special session if the veto occurs after adjournment. If approved by the legislature, this constitutional amendment would be placed before Alaska voters at the next general election, allowing the electorate to decide whether to adopt the proposed changes to the veto override process.
