IN SJR0011

Proposes amending the Indiana Constitution to allow voters to propose and adopt constitutional amendments through initiative petitions signed by 5% of votes cast in the most recent Secretary of State election

Establishes referendum power enabling voters to approve or reject statutes enacted by the General Assembly through petitions meeting the same 5% signature threshold

Approved initiatives or referenda take effect five days after certification, unless they require government spending—in which case implementation is delayed until funding is identified

Governor's veto power does not apply to voter-approved initiatives or referenda; when conflicting measures pass in the same election, the one receiving more votes prevails

Requires the General Assembly to extend initiative and referendum powers to local government units; constitutional amendment must be agreed to by two consecutive General Assemblies and ratified by voters
