To place before voters in the next general election a constitutional amendment to require final passage votes on bills before the state House to be completed in not more than five minutes. When House leaders are trying to get a controversial bill passed they often “open the board” for voting and may leave it open for hours while they try to round up ‘yes’ votes.
