Bill > HB1388

This bill modifies the existing law governing the format of ballots for constitutional amendments by mandating that each constitutional amendment must be presented as a separate, individual question on the ballot. Specifically, the bill requires that voters can only make a single choice on a single constitutional amendment at a time, and prohibits combining multiple constitutional amendments into one ballot question. The bill maintains existing requirements that ballot questions include the text of the proposed constitutional amendment and the voting results from the legislative process that led to the amendment's proposal. The new language explicitly states that under no circumstances can voters be asked to vote on multiple constitutional amendments in a single ballot question, ensuring that each proposed amendment receives a clear, distinct vote. The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage, meaning it would apply to the next election where constitutional amendments are being considered.
