Is the Legislature restricted at any point in the initiative process from making changes to laws governing the subject matter addressed in an initiative?
Neither the Maine Constitution nor the election laws bar the Legislature from making changes to the laws during the time an initiative petition is being circulated or after a law has been approved by the voters, nor are State Agencies barred from amending or adopting agency rules relating to an initiative, provided they have statutory authority to do so.
