New York S07009 establishes initiative, referendum, and recall powers for electors.

New York S07009 adds a new article to the state constitution, establishing initiative, referendum, and recall powers for electors. The initiative allows electors to propose statutes and constitutional amendments, which require approval by two-thirds of voters in two-thirds of the counties. The referendum empowers electors to approve or reject statutes or parts of statutes. Recall enables electors to remove elective officers, requiring petitions signed by a specified percentage of voters. The legislature must provide procedures for these processes.
