What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Explanation of Proposal

This proposed constitutional amendment, to be given second consideration by

the 2013 legislature for submittal to the voters in November 2014, was first

considered by the

2011

legislature in 2011 Senate Joint Resolution

23

, which became

2011

Enrolled Joint Resolution

4

.

The amendment requires that the revenues generated by use of the state

transportation system be deposited into a transportation fund, and requires the

legislature to create such a fund and a department of transportation.

Procedure for Second ConsideratioN

When a proposed constitutional amendment is before the legislature on second

consideration, any change in the text approved by the preceding legislature causes

the proposed constitutional amendment to revert to first consideration status so that

second consideration approval would have to be given by the next legislature before

the proposal may be submitted to the people for ratification [see joint rule 57 (2)].

If the legislature approves a proposed constitutional amendment on second

consideration, it must also set the date for submitting the proposed constitutional

amendment to the people for ratification and must determine the question or

questions to appear on the ballot.
