How is an initiative different than the SB 777 referendum?
A referendum is “the practice of referring measures proposed or passed by a legislative body to the vote of the electorate for approval or rejection.” In other words, if the legislature and governor approve a law such as SB 777, the people may step in and, via the ballot process, reverse the decision.
