The executive branch would be removed from its role in the constitutional amendment process going forward under legislation that won House State Government Committee approval on Monday.
Lawmakers said the failure of Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration to advertise one constitutional amendment, and its controversial wording of two others this year, provided enough reason for a change.
Republicans and Democrats overwhelming voted in favor of the bill, which proposes to amend the constitution.
Rep. Jason Ortitay, R-Allegheny County, sponsored the legislation, which would take the responsibility of writing and advertising a proposed constitutional amendment away from the Department of State and hand it to the House chief clerk or Senate secretary.
