The proposed House Joint Resolution No. 2 seeks to amend the state constitution to empower electors with the ability to initiate legislation directly and to vote on referenda. This change would allow citizens to have a more direct role in the legislative process, enabling them to propose new laws or amendments and to decide on specific policy issues through direct voting.
The resolution, introduced by Representative Carney from the 23rd District, has been referred to the Committee on Government Administration and Elections for further consideration. The primary aim of this amendment is to enhance democratic participation by providing voters with the tools to influence state legislation directly.
