The amendment would create a single-subject requirement for initiated constitutional amendments. The secretary of state would be responsible for determining whether a constitutional amendment initiative embraces one or more subjects and would be prohibited from approving an initiative for circulation if the initiative is determined to include more than one subject.
The amendment would also create a separate-vote requirement for legislatively referred constitutional amendments, requiring them to contain one subject.
