The proposed amendments to Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 4007 aim to modify sections 9 of Article III and 16 of Article IV of the North Dakota Constitution. The primary intent of these amendments is to mandate that any resolution adopted by the legislative assembly or any initiative petition proposing a constitutional amendment must focus on a single subject. This change is designed to streamline the amendment process and ensure clarity in the proposals presented to voters.

If approved, these amendments would require that the proposed constitutional amendments be submitted to the qualified electors of North Dakota during the general election scheduled for June or November 2026. The amendments stipulate that the Secretary of State will determine whether a proposed amendment adheres to the single-subject requirement, and any initiative petition that does not comply will not be approved for circulation. This resolution reflects a commitment to enhancing the legislative process by promoting focused and clear constitutional amendments.
