Plain-language change summary

The changes made to SCR 4007 clarify that any proposed constitutional amendment in North Dakota, whether from the legislative assembly or through an initiative petition, must focus on a single subject. This means that complex amendments combining multiple issues will not be allowed, making it easier for voters to understand what they are voting on. The intent behind this change is to promote transparency and simplicity in the amendment process, ensuring that voters are not overwhelmed by unrelated issues bundled together. Additionally, the date for the primary election has been updated to June 2026.
