The People's Right to Amend Act.

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the state constitution that allows citizens to place amendment proposals on the ballot after gathering signatures equal to at least 8% of the last gubernatorial vote, with a minimum of 3% from each congressional district. An amendment would only pass if 60% of voters approve it, and defeated measures cannot be re‑filed for five years. The change aims to let the public bypass the legislature when broad voter support exists for constitutional reform.
