House Bill No. introduced by J. Etchart proposes an amendment to Article XIV, Section 8 of the Montana Constitution, which seeks to increase the threshold of electors required to approve constitutional amendments made by legislative referendum. The bill changes the approval requirement from a simple majority to three-fifths of the electors voting on the amendment. This amendment aims to ensure that a greater consensus is needed for constitutional changes, reflecting a more substantial agreement among the electorate.

Additionally, the bill establishes that a two-thirds affirmative roll call vote from all members of the legislature is necessary for the proposal to pass. It also mandates that the act be submitted to the qualified electors of Montana during the general election in November 2026, with the ballot clearly stating the act's title and options for voters to express their support or opposition.
