The North Dakota Senate has passed a proposed state Constitutional measure that its sponsor says is to make sure any amendment to the Constitution comes from North Dakotans, and not out of state interests.
Edinburg Republican Senator Janne Myrdal proposed the measure. As passed, it requires an initiated Constitutional measure to be placed on both the primary and general election ballot. It also prohibits paid circulators, and requires circulators to be North Dakota residents for at least 120 days.
The required number of signatures to get it on the ballot would be equal to around five percent of the state’s population.
The amendment passed 44-to-3. It will now be considered in the House.
