Proposal 1 would call for a constitutional convention to explore proposals for changes to the state constitution.

Proposal 2 would allow judges to reduce or revoke the state pension of a public official convicted of a felony related to his or her duties.

Proposal 3 would create a 250-acre land bank, which would allow local governments to request forest preserve land for projects in exchange for the state acquiring 250 acres for the forest preserves.
