I
Medicaid expansion and federal funding
In 2022, voters added Medicaid coverage for adults 18 to 64 with low incomes. Today the federal government pays 90% of that cost.
A yes voteIf federal funding for the expansion ever drops below 90%, the expansion ends. Medicaid goes back to covering low-income children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and the elderly.
A no voteThe constitution stays as it is. The expansion stays in place whatever share the federal government pays.
J
Citizenship and voting
The state constitution already lists U.S. citizenship as a requirement to vote in state elections.
A yes voteAdds people who are not U.S. citizens to the constitution's list of people who cannot vote. This spells out a rule the constitution already has.
A no voteThe constitution stays as it is. U.S. citizenship is still required to vote.
K
Unclaimed property trust fund
Money people lose track of, like old bank accounts, uncashed checks, and refunds, goes to the State Treasurer. Owners can claim it.
A yes voteThat money goes into a trust fund in the constitution. Part of its interest and income goes into the state budget each year. The Legislature sets the amount in a way that lets the fund grow.
A no voteThe constitution stays as it is. No constitutional trust fund is created.
L
60% to pass future amendments
A constitutional amendment passes with a simple majority of the votes cast.
A yes voteFuture constitutional amendments will need 60% of the votes cast to pass.
A no voteThe constitution stays as it is. Amendments keep passing with a simple majority.
