Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
40 added · 41 removedPlain-language change summary
The proposed amendment to HCR 3003 increases the requirement for approving a constitutional amendment in North Dakota from a simple majority to sixty percent of the votes cast. This change means that more support will be needed for any future amendments to the state constitution, making it harder to pass such changes. This matters because it could significantly influence the ability of citizens to alter the constitution and may encourage broader consensus on proposed amendments.
