Statewide Ballot Measures
Amendment 1 - Amend Section 33- Article III of the Constitution
This amendment deletes the section of the Constitution which says an unmarried woman must be fourteen years old or older in order to consent to sexual intercourse. Deleting this section would allow the state legislature to set the age of consent. Currently- the state legislature has the age of consent set at sixteen for most cases.

Amendment 2 - Amend Section 16- Article X of the Constitution
"Post-employment benefits" are benefits- mainly health insurance- provided to eligible state government and school district retirees. To comply with a change in accounting standards- the state has created trust funds to pay for these post-employment benefits. This amendment relates to how the money in these trust funds may be invested.

Amendment 3 - Amend Section 16- Article X of the Constitution
This amendment is the same as Amendment 2 except it applies to local governments' post-employment benefits (instead of the state government's post-employment benefits).
