Utah conservative groups propose a constitutional amendment to give state legislature veto power over citizen initiatives.
Utah Republican Party, conservative groups, and leaders are pushing for a constitutional amendment to grant Utah's Legislature veto power over ballot initiatives. The move comes after a Utah Supreme Court ruling allowed a lawsuit over redistricting to proceed, stating that initiatives passed by citizens are protected from "unfettered legislative amendment, repeal, or replacement." The groups support the amendment in response to the language around initiatives in the court decision, rather than the redistricting issue itself.
