To place before voters in the next general election a Constitutional amendment to prohibit the House or Senate from passing a bill within three days of it having been reported or discharged from a committee, and require the exact text to be available to members for at least three days. Three-quarters of House or Senate members could waive the requirement with a roll call vote. Note: Bills are often reported with a substitute version which members may not see until the day they are voted on.
