To place before voters in the next general election a Constitutional amendment to replace the current full time legislature with a part time legislature that would meet for not more than 90 consecutive days each year, except if recalled on an extraordinary occasion. Legislators could not be granted any state-paid retirement or health benefits based on their legislative service, and their pay for those 90 days could not exceed 25 percent of the average for Michigan private employees. Legislators could only be reimbursed for actual expenses related to holding the office, and the total legislative budget in any one year could not exceed 1 percent of the state general fund.
