Constitution; amend to provide that the people have the right to propose new statutes and amend or repeal existing statutes.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Mississippi citizens to directly propose new laws or amend/repeal existing laws through a voter initiative process. It would require petitions signed by 12% of gubernatorial voters, with restrictions on topics like the Bill of Rights, retirement systems, and state funding appropriations. Approved initiatives would bypass the governor's veto, require a 40%+ turnout threshold to pass, and be protected from legislative changes for two years. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not advance to a vote.
