A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Section 8 of Article II thereof, relating to the initiative.

The California Constitution provides electors, through the initiative, the power to propose statutes and constitutional amendments and to adopt or reject them. An initiative measure may be proposed by presenting to the Secretary of State a certified petition signed by a specified number of electors. The Secretary of State is required to submit an initiative measure at the next general election held at least 131 days after the measure qualifies or at a special statewide election held prior to that general election.
