AN ACT proposing an amendment to Section 29 of the Constitution of Kentucky relating to citizen ballot initiatives.

Summary

The bill would add an initiative power to Kentucky’s constitution, allowing voters to propose and approve statutes directly if a petition gathers signatures from at least 2 % of the state’s population and does not target a specific class of people. The Secretary of State would place approved initiatives on the next regular election ballot, and the governor could not veto them. This gives the public a new way to shape state law outside the General Assembly.
