A Berthold lawmaker wants to limit initiated state Constitutional amendments to one subject.
Rep. Clayton Fegley (R-Berthold) said this is in response to an initiated amendment that would have, among other things, established open primaries, ranked-choice voting and a change in redistricting procedures. It was Measure 3 on the November ballot – but was thrown out through court action.
"Each section of Measure 3 should have been bvoted on individually," Fegley said. "People wouldn't have to pick and choose."
Fegley said he wanted to make sure every such measure would be limited to a single subject, and it would have to stand on its own merits.
"That's all it does," Fegley said. He said he has a lot of support for it, including from the state's business community.
