HJR 18 -- Initiative Petitions

Sponsor:  Davis

Upon voter approval, this constitutional amendment modifies the
process for accepting and enacting constitutional amendments.
Proposed amendments will not be submitted to voters if any
person, group, or entity has been paid to gather signatures for
the initiative petition.

Constitutional amendments submitted by either the General
Assembly or by initiative petition will require a two-thirds
majority vote to become law.  However, constitutional provisions
enacted on or after November 1, 1998, but before November 2,
2008, may be repealed by a constitutional amendment that receives
a simple majority vote.
