The 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 from the legislative assembly or 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 prevent any proposed constitutional amendments from encompassing multiple subjects, as determined by the Secretary of State. The resolution stipulates that these changes will be submitted to the qualified electors of North Dakota during the primary election scheduled for June 2026. The amendments would enhance the legislative process by ensuring that voters can consider each constitutional amendment independently, thereby promoting informed decision-making.
