Utah voters will decide on a proposed constitutional amendment that would clarify the Utah Legislature's authority to amend or repeal citizen-led ballot initiatives, a shift prompted by a recent Utah Supreme Court ruling. Critics, including the anti-gerrymandering group Better Boundaries, argue that the ballot language is misleading and designed to weaken the initiative process, stating it allows legislators unchecked power over voter decisions. Supporters, led by Senate President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Mike Schultz, defend the language as clear and necessary for voter understanding. The amendment also seeks to ban foreign influence on initiatives and allow for legislative enforcement of this ban. Better Boundaries contends that the amendment undermines the democratic process by limiting the power of citizens to enact reforms. The controversy highlights a significant debate over legislative authority versus voter empowerment in Utah's political landscape.
