Text (English translation):
Do you approve of enacting legislation that

• mandates legal action to determine the legal responsibility of national leaders and their staff members who, either intentionally or through gross malfeasance, incur grave damage to the nation;
• empowers the Legislative Yuan to establish investigative committees to investigate allegations of such behavior; and
• requires all government agencies to fully cooperate with such committees

with the aim of maintaining the rights and interests of the citizenry, ensuring that punishment is meted out to public servants who have violated the law or committed acts of malfeasance, and recovering their ill-gotten incomes?"
