Summary

A bill is exempt from the referendum power described in the state constitution if there is a safety clause on the bill. This bill creates a referendum power committee of the house of representatives and a referendum committee of the senate (committees) to review the use of the safety clause on bills. These committees are required to meet during the legislative session to review every bill that is introduced with a safety clause. More specifically, these committees determine whether the use of the safety clause on a bill is appropriate. If one of the committees determines that the use of the safety clause on a bill is not appropriate, the committee is required to replace the safety clause on the bill.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
