Constitution; conform initiative signature requirements to current congressional districts for initiative petition.
This bill proposes amending Mississippi's constitution to update signature requirements for citizen-initiated constitutional amendments. It directly affects people gathering signatures for initiative petitions by requiring that no single congressional district's signatures exceed the total required signatures divided by the current number of congressional districts. The key mechanism ensures signatures are distributed proportionally across all active districts, preventing any one district from dominating the petition process. This change would align the initiative process with current congressional boundaries after redistricting.
