Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill proposes a change to Kentucky's Constitution that would give citizens the power to propose new laws directly and put them to a vote in an election, a process known as citizen ballot initiative. 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 this change. Who it may affect: registered Kentucky voters and those seeking to organize citizen-led lawmaking efforts.
