This concurrent resolution proposes amendments to the North Dakota Constitution, specifically targeting sections 9 of article III and 16 of article IV. The primary intent of the resolution 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 aims to streamline the amendment process and ensure clarity in the proposals presented to voters.
If approved, the amendments would require that the Secretary of State determine whether a proposed constitutional amendment comprises more than one subject, and if it does, the initiative petition would not be approved for circulation. The resolution stipulates that these proposed amendments will be submitted to the qualified electors of North Dakota during the primary election scheduled for June 2026, thereby allowing voters to decide on this significant change to the constitutional amendment process.
