Utah Legislature Seeks Power to Amend Voter-Approved Ballot Measures

Proposed constitutional amendment would allow lawmakers to alter or repeal initiatives, pending voter approval in November

The amendment is a response to a Utah Supreme Court ruling limiting legislative changes to voter initiatives.
If passed, the Legislature could retroactively amend past initiatives, including those on redistricting and healthcare.
The proposal has sparked significant public opposition, with critics labeling it a 'power grab.'
Supporters argue it prevents outside special interests from influencing state laws through ballot initiatives.
The final decision will be made by Utah voters in the upcoming general election.
