Thereafter and prior to such vote a public hearing shall be held thereon. If the proposed amendment or amendments or any of them shall be agreed to by three-fifths of all the members of each of the respective houses, the same shall be submitted to the people. If the same or any of them shall be agreed to by less than three-fifths but nevertheless by a majority of all the members of each of the respective houses, such proposed amendment or amendments shall be referred to the Legislature in the next legislative year; and if in that year the same or any of them shall be agreed to by a majority of all the members of each of the respective houses, then such amendment or amendments shall be submitted to the people.

The proposed amendment or amendments shall be entered on the journal of each house with the yeas and nays of the members voting thereon.

Art. IX §1 ¶3 | PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

The Legislature shall cause the proposed amendment or amendments to be published at least once in one or more newspapers of each county, if any be published therein, not less than three months prior to submission to the people.

Art. IX §1 ¶4 | PROCEDURES FOR VOTER APPROVAL OF CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES

The proposed amendment or amendments shall then be submitted to the people at the next general election in the manner and form provided by the Legislature.

Art. IX §1 ¶5 | SEPARATE BALLOTING FOR MULTIPLE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

If more than one amendment be submitted, they shall be submitted in such manner and form that the people may vote for or against each amendment separately and distinctly.

Art. IX §1 ¶6 | EFFECTIVE DATE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF APPROVED AMENDMENTS

If the proposed amendment or amendments or any of them shall be approved by a majority of the legally qualified voters of the State voting thereon, the same shall become part of the Constitution on the thirtieth day after the election, unless otherwise provided in the amendment or amendments.

Art. IX §1 ¶7 | RESTRICTIONS ON RESUBMITTING REJECTED AMENDMENTS

If at the election a proposed amendment shall not be approved, neither such proposed amendment nor one to effect the same or substantially the same change in the Constitution shall be submitted to the people before the third general election thereafter.
