Should the Utah Legislature be allowed to amend or repeal voter-approved ballot initiatives?

In 2024, the Utah Supreme Court ruled that the legislature could not easily repeal voter-passed laws, prompting lawmakers to propose a constitutional amendment to override that ruling. Supporters argue that citizen initiatives are often poorly drafted and that the legislature—which is constitutionally tasked with making laws—must have the ability to amend them to fit the state's legal code and budget. Opponents view this as an existential threat to direct democracy, arguing that it renders the initiative process meaningless if politicians can simply delete any law the voters pass, particularly those regarding anti-gerrymandering or ethics reform.
