JOINT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AND PUBLISH AND SUBMIT TO THE ELECTORS A PROPOSITION OF AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE -- REFERENDUM ON LINE ITEM VETO

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment granting the governor a line item veto specifically on budget and money-related bills. It would allow the governor to reduce or disapprove individual spending items within appropriations while approving the rest of the bill, rather than vetoing entire bills. The legislature would then need to separately reconsider each rejected item to override the veto, with specific rules preventing the governor from altering wording or creating new sentences through partial vetoes. If approved by voters, this change would replace the current constitutional language governing gubernatorial vetoes.
