Initiative measure; create procedures for qualified elector to propose amendment to the Mississippi Code of 1972.

SB 2542 would have established a formal process for Mississippi voters to propose amendments to the state code through citizen-initiated petitions. Qualified electors could submit proposed amendments to the Secretary of State, including required details about funding impacts, and the Attorney General would review them for clarity before they could appear on ballots. The bill specified that petitions must be filed with the Secretary of State, include a revenue plan, and undergo a 10-day Attorney General review for form and style. It also created rules for ballot titles and allowed appeals to court if voters disagreed with the proposed wording. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
