Alabama seeks voter initiated laws amendment proposal
A Alabama legislator H e p Ira B Thompson Crenshaw proposes a constitutional amendment to establish initiative and referendum allowing voters to propose and pass laws without legislative action and to approve or reject laws passed by the legislature. The plan excludes recall by voting, and would require five percent of last general election voters to sign a petition to place a measure on the ballot. The idea mirrors other states but differs by removing recall, creating a direct voter by pass of law pathway.
