Idaho proposes laws to restrict voter initiatives, raising signature requirements and allowing governor vetoes.

Idaho lawmakers are proposing new legislation to restrict the voter initiative process. One bill would allow the governor to veto initiatives that do not receive at least two-thirds voter approval, while another would raise the signature requirements for initiatives and referendums to appear on the ballot. Critics argue these measures add hurdles for citizens to enact laws directly, while supporters say it will protect against potential misinformation and out-of-state funding influence.
