#### Illinois Banking Amendment

[edit]

The Illinois Banking Amendment, a proposed legislatively referred constitutional amendment to Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8, of Article XI of the 1870 Illinois Constitution, failed to meet the threshold for approval.[1][5] In order to be approved, legislatively referred constitutional amendments required approval equal to a majority of voters voting in the entire general election.[5][6]

If approved, this amendment would have made modifications to state banking rules that would have reduced the liability of bank stockholders.[5]
