AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill (S.F. No. 1057) seeks to clarify the process by which the Minnesota legislature can propose changes to state laws directly to the public through a ballot. Essentially, the bill allows the legislature, with a majority vote in both houses, to put forward proposed changes to laws—whether they are amendments, new laws, or repeals—onto the next general election ballot. If a majority of the voters approve the proposed measure during the election, it will then be officially enacted into law. The law will also be published and codified like other state laws by the revisor of statutes.
