The proposed constitutional amendment aims to modify Article III, section 2 of the Nebraska Constitution regarding the initiative process for enacting laws and constitutional amendments. It stipulates that for petitions filed before July 7, 2028, the Secretary of State will submit the proposed measure to voters at the next general election occurring at least four months after the petition is filed. However, for petitions filed on or after July 7, 2028, the measure will only be submitted at the next general election if the petition is filed by the second Wednesday in July of the year prior to that election. Additionally, the amendment establishes that the same measure cannot be submitted more than once every three years, and if conflicting measures are approved, the one with the most votes will prevail.

The amendment also emphasizes that initiative measures must focus on a single subject and that the Legislature cannot amend or repeal laws enacted by initiative without a two-thirds majority vote. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters in the November 2026 general election, with ballot language indicating that it seeks to change the deadline for filing initiative petitions for placement on the ballot.
