Article XXIII, Section 1. [Amendments: proposal, election.]
Any amendment or amendments to this Constitution may be proposed in either house of
the Legislature, and if two-thirds of all the members elected to each of the two houses, shall vote
in favor thereof, such proposed amendment or amendments shall be entered on their respective
journals with the yeas and nays taken thereon; and the Legislature shall cause the same to be
published in at least one newspaper in every county of the state, where a newspaper is published,
for two months immediately preceding the next general election, at which time the said
amendment or amendments shall be submitted to the electors of the state for their approval or
rejection, and if a majority of the electors voting thereon shall approve the same, such amendment
or amendments shall become part of this Constitution.
The revision or amendment of an entire article or the addition of a new article to this
Constitution may be proposed as a single amendment and may be submitted to the electors as a
single question or proposition. Such amendment may relate to one subject, or any number of
subjects, and may modify, or repeal provisions contained in other articles of the Constitution, if
such provisions are germane to the subject matter of the article being revised, amended or being
proposed as a new article.
