North Dakota legislative referrals center around education, taxes and health care

BISMARK, North Dakota: Just like citizen initiatives, legislators are already filing proposals for the 2012 statewide ballot. A total of three proposals have been filed that call for amending the state constitution but tackle an array of topics. Education, taxes and health care are included.

According to the North Dakota Constitution an amendment proposed by either the House or the Senate require only majority approval.

In 2010 voters cast their ballots on only two measures; one of which was a legislatively referred measure.

Potential legislative referrals include:

Type	Title	Subject	Description
LRCA	Education Reserve Fund Amendment	Education	Would reserve earnings from the state's "foundation aid stabilization fund" for annual scholarships
LRCA	Poll Tax Amendment	Admin of gov't	Would revoke the authority for the poll tax and remove the offensive language
LRCA	Healthcare Amendment	Healthcare	Would allow residents to choose their health care insurance plans
