On February 22, the Arizona House passed HCR 2015. It is a proposed constitutional amendment, to require initiatives to receive at least 60% of the popular vote in order to pass. If the legislature approves the bill, then the voters will vote on it, because it amends the state constitution.
The vote in the House was 31-28. The only state that already requires initiatives to receive 60% is Florida.
This proposal received less than a 60% yes vote in the Arizona House of Representatives. 31 to 28 represents a 52.5% yes vote.
This is a good bill.
