This bill prohibits any court from rewriting or editing the official summary statement or ballot language approved by the General Assembly for any constitutional amendment submitted to voters through the adoption of a joint resolution.
If the official summary statement or ballot language approved by the General Assembly is challenged in court and the court determines that it is legally flawed, the General Assembly must rewrite the language. If the General Assembly is not in Session at the time of the ruling, the Secretary of State will rewrite the language.
This bill is the same as HB 391 (2023).
