Secretary of State Michael Howe has announced the submission of a proposed petition to initiate a constitutional measure in North Dakota. The initiative, which concerns public records, legislative salaries, and lobbying, is now under review by the Office of the Secretary of State.
Jerol W. Gohrick from McGregor, North Dakota, serves as the chairperson for the sponsoring committee behind this proposal. A copy of the proposed petition has been attached, including a list of committee members and a timeline detailing the process ahead.
The next step involves drafting a petition title by both the Secretary of State and Attorney General. This title must be concise and accurately represent the measure to be included on petitions circulated for signatures from qualified electors. The deadline for providing this title to the sponsoring committee falls between Friday, February 14, 2025, and Wednesday, February 19, 2025.
