modify the requirements to refer an ordinance or resolution to the voters of a political subdivision.

Passed 40–27Bipartisan

What it does: As amended, changes how voters refer county, municipal and school district decisions to a public vote: petitions need signatures of 5 percent of registered voters or 2,500, whichever is fewer, and certain county and municipal decisions cannot be referred. (AI-written summary of the bill; the official record shows the exact version voted)

Question before the chamber: Failed to concur, no committee appointed

A yes vote rejected the Senate's amendments to HB 1323, which shorten the petition filing period to 20 days and cap required signatures at 2,500 registered voters, without appointing a conference committee. (AI-written)
