Bill > HJR157

This concurrent resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would prevent the state legislature (referred to as the General Assembly) from amending or repealing laws that were passed directly by voters through a process called a "statutory initiative measure." Currently, voters can propose and pass laws themselves, independent of the legislature. This amendment would require the legislature to meet specific conditions before they could alter such voter-approved laws: either more than six years must have passed since the law was enacted, or a supermajority vote of three-fourths of the members in both legislative chambers must approve the changes, or any changes not meeting that supermajority threshold must be put back to the voters for approval at the next general election.
