Public institutions affected by the proposal include state government, local governments, public colleges and universities, community colleges and school districts. Prohibit public institutions from discriminating against groups or individuals due to their gender, ethnicity, race, color or national origin.

Public Act 160 of 2004 would: Authorize the National Resources Commission to establish a hunting season for mourning doves. Require a mourning dove hunter to have a small game license and a $2.00 mourning dove stamp. Stipulate that revenue from the stamp must be split evenly between the Game and Fish Protection Fund and the Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund. Require the Department of Natural Resources to address responsible mourning dove hunting; management practices for the propagation of mourning doves; and participation in mourning dove hunting by youth, the elderly and the disabled in the Department's annual hunting guide. Should this proposal be approved?

The purposed constitutional amendment would: Prohibit government from taking private property for transfer to another private individual or business for purposes of economic development or increasing tax revenue. Provide that if an individual's principal residence is taken by government for public use, the individual must be paid at least 125% of property's fair market value. Require government that takes a private property to demonstrate that the taking is for a public use; if taken to eliminate blight, require a higher standard of proof to demonstrate that the taking of that property is for a public use. Preserve existing rights of property owners. Should this proposal be adopted?

Reduce and cap retirement fund contribution paid by public schools, community colleges and state universities; shift remaining portion to state. Reduce funding gap between school districts receiving basic per-pupil foundation allowance and those receiving maximum foundation allowance. Should this proposal be approved?
