A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for proposal of amendments by the General Assembly and their adoption.
This bill proposes amending the Pennsylvania Constitution to require a two-thirds vote in both houses of the General Assembly to propose constitutional amendments, instead of a simple majority. It also outlines a process for proposing and adopting amendments during emergencies, which would require a two-thirds vote and a shorter publication and waiting period before being put to a public vote. If passed, this would make it harder to propose amendments under normal circumstances but allow for quicker changes during emergencies.
