LC 1157 — Referendum on election law

Overview

LC 1157 is a draft bill titled “Referendum on election law.” The bill’s apparent purpose, based on the title, is to refer a question related to election law to voters. The available record does not include the bill’s exact text or the specific referendum question(s) proposed. The draft status indicates it never advanced to formal consideration in a session.

Purpose and Intent

  • The stated aim, as inferred from the title, is to authorize or require a referendum concerning election law. This would typically mean submitting a proposed change or set of election-law provisions to the voters for approval or rejection.
  • The record does not provide the exact scope, language, or criteria for the referendum, so the precise policy changes (if any) remain undocumented in this summary.

Key Provisions (text not provided)

  • Specific provisions, including the exact referendum question, the scope of the election-law changes, eligibility criteria for referendums, funding, or implementation timelines, are not included in the available information.
  • No details are listed about ballot timing, petition thresholds, or administrative responsibilities within this draft.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Voters: Any referendum proposed by LC 1157 would be decided by eligible voters in the jurisdiction.
  • Election administration: If enacted, the measure could affect how future election-law changes are approved and implemented.
  • Stakeholders in election policy: Groups involved in voting, elections management, and related governance would be affected depending on the referendum’s subject matter.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduced: November 11, 2024
  • 2024-11-11: Drafter Assigned
  • 2024-12-13: Draft On Hold
  • 2025-05-23: Draft Died in Process
  • Current status: Draft died in process; no further advancement indicated in the record.

Status and Next Steps

  • The bill is not moving forward in its current form. Because it died in process, there is no enacted change and no further procedural steps are documented.
  • If interest persists, a new bill could be introduced to pursue a referendum on election law, potentially with updated language, scope, and a clearer timeline.

Notes

  • Details about the exact referendum question, technical language, fiscal impact, or implementation plan were not provided in the available record. If more text becomes available, we can add a more precise provisions section and updated timeline.
