Notes:
-
X indicates availability of that initiative process in
the State
-
Colors show how the number of states add to 24, though some
States may chose to use one or another type of initiative.
-
The State statutory direct initiatives will probably be
most useful to pass State endorsement-in-principle of the Planned U.S. Constitutional
Amendment. However, in States with no statutory direct initiative,
then a constitutional direct initiative or an indirect initiative can be used to
advance the issue.
