Bill > LR297CA

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change how laws enacted by the people through initiative petitions can be altered. Currently, the people have the power of initiative, allowing them to propose and vote on laws or constitutional amendments. This amendment would require that any legislation passed by the Legislature to amend, repeal, modify, or impair a law previously enacted by initiative must first be approved by at least two-thirds of the Legislature and then submitted to the voters at the next statewide general election for their approval. The initiative law would remain in effect until the proposed legislative changes are approved by the voters, and if approved, the changes would take effect upon proclamation by the Governor. This aims to provide a stronger safeguard for laws created directly by the people, preventing the Legislature from easily undoing them without further public consent.
