SB 1548 changes the petition process for home-rule municipalities seeking to amend their city charters. It removes the previous threshold of 20,000 petition signatures, requiring instead that 5% of the city’s registered voters sign the petition. This change aims to equalize the amendment process across municipalities and ensure that smaller cities are not held to a higher signature threshold than larger cities.
