Worker's Comp - amending the Constitution WITHOUT a Vote of and by the People?

"There are no propositions concerning worker’s compensation in the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s or 1950s. I looked through each of them. Worker’s compensation did not start to be a ballot issue until the 1960s."

"SB905 from 1913 (chapter 176) was not a constitutional amendment, and therefore was not voted on by the electorate. The Governor approved this act on June 2, 1913, and it went into effect immediately. "
