A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, providing for powers reserved to the people.

SB 446 proposes a constitutional amendment adding Section 33 to Pennsylvania's Constitution, establishing two direct democracy mechanisms for voters. It allows citizens to propose new laws or constitutional amendments (initiative) by gathering signatures from 5% of gubernatorial voters across 45 counties, provided the measure covers only one topic and excludes religion, courts, or specific appropriations. It also grants voters the power to reject existing laws (referendum) within 90 days of passage, requiring 5% signatures for submission and 10% for automatic suspension until the next election. The amendment includes strict rules: all initiatives/referenda must cover a single topic, exclude certain subjects, undergo ballot summaries, and be limited to two measures per election. This directly affects Pennsylvania voters by expanding their ability to propose or reject legislation without legislative action.
