This bill proposes a change to the Kentucky Constitution that would give citizens the power to propose new laws directly and put them to a public vote, without going through the state legislature. It sets out the rules for how that process would work, what topics could be addressed, and how adopted measures would take effect. If approved by lawmakers, the proposed change itself would go before Kentucky voters to be accepted or rejected. Who it may affect: all registered Kentucky voters and citizens who wish to participate in the lawmaking process.
