Constitutional amendment to change provisions related to amending, repealing, modifying, or impairing a law enacted by initiative petition
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Nebraska voters to approve any legislative change to laws enacted through citizen initiatives. Currently, the Legislature can modify such laws with a two-thirds vote, but this amendment would mandate that any proposed change must be submitted to voters at the next general election. If approved by voters, the change takes effect; if rejected, the original initiative law remains in place. This directly affects how the Legislature can alter laws created by public petitions and gives voters final authority over those changes.
