Iowa (which has only a part-time legislature) requires passage in BOTH houses in two CONSECUTIVE sessions before there can be a popular vote. This is the same as Massachusetts, which although the House there occasionally gets an amendment through, always stalls it in committee or falls short in the vote. I have home for this... and if it can be sustained in the central Midwest, there is hope for eventual federal recognition. *tight hugs* The other interesting thing about this is the amendment process, which is tougher than California.
