SB5 requires the state to clearly disclose on ballot materials whether a proposed constitutional amendment or referred law came from the Legislature or from a citizen initiative. This change ensures voters know the source of ballot questions before they cast their votes, making it easier for citizens to understand who proposed each measure they're deciding on.
