Summary

The bill changes how the General Assembly can put constitutional amendments on the ballot, adding required public hearings, a 90‑to‑120‑day notice period, and a 55% voter approval threshold. If voters reject an amendment, the legislature can still adopt it with another super‑majority vote. It affects any future amendment to the state constitution and all Delaware voters.
