SC516

Mississippi SC516 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to allow citizens to propose new laws through a ballot initiative process.

Mississippi SC516 proposes an amendment to Section 33 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 to authorize a citizen initiative procedure for proposing amendments to state statutes.

Only the first five proposals with sufficient petitions will be submitted to voters in a single statewide election.
