Introduced

SJR 34 - Upon approval of the voters, this constitutional amendment requires the attorney general to seek appropriate relief on behalf of the state when the attorney general determines that a lawsuit is necessary and proper, or when the attorney general is directed to seek relief by the governor, the general assembly, or by a petition of the voters that expresses the belief that the federal government has taken steps that require the state or a state officer to enforce a federal law that is outside Congress's power and intrudes on state sovereignty.

The amendment also sets forth the procedure for the petition process for voter-directed lawsuits.
