Senate Joint Resolution No. 101 proposes an amendment to Section 1, Article III of the Idaho Constitution, which would require that any referendum or initiative petition must be signed by at least six percent of legal voters from each legislative district based on the last general election. This amendment aims to ensure that a broader representation of the electorate is involved in the petition process before any measure can be submitted for a vote. The resolution outlines the legislative power vested in the state and the rights of the people to approve or reject legislative acts through referendums and initiatives.

The resolution also includes provisions for the question to be presented to Idaho voters at the next general election, asking whether they support the proposed amendment. Additionally, it directs the Legislative Council to prepare necessary statements and instructs the Secretary of State to publish the amendment and related arguments as required by law. This initiative reflects a move towards enhancing the democratic process by ensuring that a significant portion of the electorate from each district is engaged in the petitioning process.
