Providing the powers of initiative and referendum to certain more populous counties.

Summary

  • The voters of any county with a population of 350,000 or more, that does not operate under a county home rule charter, are granted initiative and referendum powers on county matters. The procedures for county voters to exercise these initiative and referendum powers are very similar to existing initiative and referendum provisions for voters of code cities.
