What a yes vote does

Require the Legislature to have a 60% supermajority to change the end date of the legislative session. Permit the House Speaker and Senate President to call a special legislative session that lasts up to 12 days. Laws that are passed come into effect on July 1 of the year that act was passed or after 90 days, whichever was later. Remove legislative session end dates. Limit legislative sessions in odd-numbered years to 30 days and in even-numbered years to 60 days.
