Summary

Existing provisions of the California Constitution provide that the initiative is the power of the electors to propose statutes and amendments to the Constitution and to adopt or reject those proposals by a majority of votes on the proposal. Existing law further provides that the Legislature may amend or repeal an initiative statute without the approval of the electors only if permitted by the statute, and subject to the vote requirement specified by the statute. This measure would amend the Constitution to provide that a proposed initiative statute that authorizes the Legislature to amend that initiative statute without voter approval by the electors may become effective only if approved by the electors by no less than the same percentage of the vote as would be required by the language in that proposed initiative statute for the Legislature to amend it without voter approval.
