Currently, initiative petitions shall be signed by 8% of the legal voters in each of two-thirds of the congressional districts in the state, and petitions proposing laws shall be signed by 5% of registered voters.
This proposed Constitutional amendment, upon voter approval, will change the description from legal to registered voters and will require that the necessary percentage of voters be in each of the congressional districts rather than just two-thirds of the congressional districts.
The number of signatures required is calculated by the Office of the Secretary of State.
This bill is the same as HJR 10 (2019).
