REFERENDA AND INITIATIVES – Proposes a state constitutional amendment to require any referendum petition or initiative petition to be signed by at least 6% of legal voters at the last general election in each legislative district.

SJR 101 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring referendum and initiative petitions to collect signatures from at least 6% of legal voters in *each* legislative district from the last general election, rather than a statewide total. This would make it harder for petitioners to gather the required signatures, as they must now secure support in every district. The change directly affects citizens or groups seeking to bypass the legislature through direct democracy measures like referendums or initiatives. If approved, this would alter the signature collection process for all future petitions, but does not change how referendums or initiatives are voted on by the public.
