Summary
The proposal would add language to Article IV, section 22, allowing the lieutenant governor to cast a vote when the House is evenly split. The vote would be recorded like any other member’s vote, but the lieutenant governor would otherwise not be a House member. The amendment must be approved by voters in the 2028 general election.
