    Only applies to initiatives, though. The same one-topic restriction is need in Congress, state and national.

      That’s not true, and it’s frustrating to see such confidence coming from someone who’s really active in the community. I’ve pasted the whole thing, section 2, article 19 of the state constitution. I’ll add section 20 for context, so you can be certain that “bill” does not somehow mean initiative.

      SECTION 19. BILL TO CONTAIN ONE SUBJECT

      No bill shall embrace more than one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title.

      SECTION 20. ORIGIN AND AMENDMENT OF BILLS

      Any bill may originate in either house of the legislature, and a bill passed by one house may be amended in the other.
