Proposed Constitutional Amendment

May 1, 2024 - HJR 5, which proposes an amendment to Section 2, Article VI of the Constitution of the State of Idaho, was adopted by the Legislature in 2024 and will appear on the November 2024 ballot for approval by the citizens of Idaho.

Idaho Code 67-453 requires the Legislative Council to prepare a “brief statement setting forth in simple, understandable language the meaning and purpose of the proposed amendment” as well as a “concise presentation of the major arguments advanced by the proponents and opponents.”

Only the brief statement of meaning will appear on the November ballot, while both the brief statement as well as the arguments for and against will be included in the publications that the Secretary of State is required to publish prior to the election.
