Relates to the form of submission and abstract for proposed amendments to the constitution

Summary

The bill amends the election law to require that the format and abstract for any proposed amendment to the state constitution be decided in a concurrent resolution, either together with the amendment or in a separate resolution at least 120 days before the election. It also directs that the language be plain, aiming for an eighth‑grade reading level, and that the State Board of Elections handle transmission and ballot ordering. The rule applies to amendments first passed in the 2025‑26 session and later, but not to those passed in 2023‑24.
