Bill Summary

Relative to the subject matter of initiative petitions (House, No. 65)

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts Constitution by adding language to the section on initiative petitions. Specifically, it would insert language stating that initiative petitions cannot be used to alter the rights set forth in the Constitution related to freedom, equality, or the right of each individual to be protected in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property. This is intended to place certain constitutional protections beyond the reach of the initiative petition process.
