Introduced
by
To place before voters in the next general election a Constitutional amendment to require petitions for citizen initiatives to create a law, or a referendum disapproving a just-passed law, to be signed by registered voters who are residents in at least three-fourths of 110 state House districts, and who, in each of those House districts, equal at least 7 percent of the number who voted in that district in the last gubernatorial election. Under current law there is no requirement to collect signatures in a certain number of districts (the aggregate total number just has to be submitted from anywhere in the state). Also, under current law the total signature requirement for referendums is 5 percent. See also Senate Bills 1086 and 1087.
Referred to the Committee on Campaign and Election Oversight
