Amendment to the Kentucky Constitution

Proposed Amendment:
Section 29
Legislative Power Vested in General Assembly and the People

The legislative power shall be vested in a House of Representatives and a Senate, which, together, shall be styled the “General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.” But the people reserve to themselves the initiative power to propose laws and to enact or reject the same at the polls independent of the General Assembly, and they also reserve the power to approve or reject at the polls any act, or item, section, or part of any act, of the legislature.


The initiative power of the people may be invoked by a petition that contains the proposed measure set forth at length and is signed by a number of legal voters equal to at least five percent (5%) of the total votes cast for all candidates for Governor at the last preceding regular election at which a Governor was elected.
