Bill > SCR4007

This resolution proposes amendments to the North Dakota Constitution requiring that any proposed constitutional amendment, whether initiated by legislative resolution or citizen initiative petition, must be limited to a single subject. Specifically, the resolution would empower the secretary of state to review proposed amendments and reject those that contain multiple subjects, ensuring that constitutional changes are focused and clear. The amendments would apply to both legislative resolutions proposing constitutional changes and citizen-led initiative petitions, mandating that each proposed amendment can only address one distinct topic. If approved by voters in the June 2026 primary election, these changes would require greater precision in drafting constitutional amendments, preventing omnibus or complex multi-topic proposals from being considered. The resolution aims to increase transparency and prevent potential voter confusion by ensuring that constitutional amendments are narrowly and specifically targeted.
