SB 317 - This act would require a voter-approved statewide ballot measure to be resubmitted to the voters at any time it is amended or repealed by the General Assembly.

Voter approval is required before the measure which was changed by the General Assembly can become effective.

The General Assembly can overcome this provision by including language in specific legislation exempting this act (i.e., "section 116.023 notwithstanding").

This act is nearly identical to SB 612 (1996) and SB 68 (1995).
