To place before voters in the next general election a constitutional amendment that would revise provisions permitting voters to “initiate” new laws by petition. Under the current provision, if petitions are submitted signed by 8% of the number who voted in the last governor election, the legislature has 40 session days to adopt the measure or it goes on the next general election ballot. The resolution would eliminate the legislature’s role, and so automatically place proposals on the ballot if they have enough valid signatures.
