A second-term state lawmaker wants to make it harder for voters to approve changes to the Arizona Constitution.
HCR 2001 would require proposed amendments to get at least 60 percent of the popular vote for approval.
But even if Rep. Phil Lovas, R-Peoria, can get a majority of lawmakers to put the proposal on the 2016 ballot, he would still need to convince a simple majority of voters to agree to limit their own lawmaking powers.
Lovas said it should be more difficult to amend the document than simply getting one yes vote more than the other side.
