Georgia voters will decide two constitutional amendments on the November 6 ballot. The first proposes adding Article IX to grant the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals direct writ of error review of all final juvenile court judgments and related matters. The second would alter how amendments are submitted, allowing general or local changes with separate subdistrict voting.
The draft describes changing Article XIII Section 1 to require two thirds approval in both Senate and House for an amendment and to record Ayes and Nays in the journals. It notes amendments may be repealed or amended by the General Assembly with a two month prior notice. The text ends mid sentence.
House Resolution 186-5311a proposes Article VI Section 1 amendment to Georgia constitution adding Paragraph II. It would grant the General Assembly discretion to create a new court or system of courts in any city with population over 300,000 as defined by future resolutions and Senate Resolution No 8.
Georgia proposes amendments to Article III for 1955 and onward. Key changes revise adjournment rules for pending business and salary protections for elective officers, with procedures for two-thirds approval, publication, and voter ratification at the next general election.
The text outlines that if voters approve the amendment replacing certain language about salaries with a clause protecting existing salaries, and a majority of electors qualified to vote for General Assembly members vote yes, the amendment becomes part of the Georgia Constitution of 1945. Returns follow standard General Assembly election procedures, the Secretary of State determines the result, the Governor proclaims ratification, and the amendment joins the constitution.
