Plain-language summary

Beta

This proposed constitutional amendment would give Kentucky voters the power to propose new state laws directly through a ballot initiative process, bypassing the state legislature. It sets out procedures for how initiatives would work, what subjects they could cover, and how adopted initiatives would take effect. Because it is a constitutional amendment, Kentucky voters themselves would have the final say on whether to adopt it. Who it may affect: registered Kentucky voters and county clerks.
