§ 74921 Referendum Implementation Requirement

Key Takeaways

  • •This law doesn't start working right away.
  • •First, there has to be a vote where most people say 'yes' to it.
  • •The person in charge (the secretary) decides when and how this vote happens.
  • •If most people don’t vote 'yes,' the law stays on hold.

Example

Imagine your school wants to start a new rule that everyone must wear hats on Fridays.

The rule isn’t real yet. First, the principal has to ask all the students to vote. If most students vote 'yes,' then the hat rule starts. If not, no hats are needed.
