The proposed constitutional amendment, set to be voted on in the November 2026 general election, seeks to amend Article III of the Nebraska Constitution, specifically sections 2 and 27. The amendment aims to enhance the initiative process, allowing the people to enact laws and constitutional amendments independently of the Legislature. It stipulates that any proposed law must be supported by a petition signed by seven percent of registered voters, while constitutional amendments require signatures from ten percent. Additionally, the amendment introduces a provision that any legislation intending to amend, repeal, or modify a law enacted by initiative must first be approved by a two-thirds majority in the Legislature and subsequently submitted to the voters for approval.

Furthermore, the amendment clarifies that laws enacted by initiative will remain in effect until any proposed changes are approved by voters. It also maintains that no conflicting measures can be submitted to the electorate more than once every three years, and if multiple measures are approved, the one with the highest votes will prevail. The amendment includes a provision for the effective date of legislation, stating that it will not take effect until three months after the legislative session unless an emergency is declared. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters with a clear ballot language indicating its purpose.
