RESOLUTION PROPOSING A STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE FOR DIRECT REFERENDUM.
HJ 20 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow voters to directly approve or reject laws through elections, bypassing the state legislature. It would grant electors the power to approve any law or part of a law at a public election, independent of the General Assembly. The resolution specifically aims to establish this direct referendum process as a constitutional right. This change would affect all future legislation by giving voters a direct mechanism to accept or reject laws, without specifying which laws or groups would be impacted.
