In accordance with that statute, I hereby submit the Attorney General's Statement with respect to this initiated measure. By copy of this letter, I am providing a copy of the Attorney General’s Statement to the sponsor of the measure. Very truly yours, MARTY J. JACKLEY Attorney General MJJ/PA/Ide Ene. cc/enc.: Cory Heidelberger Jason Hancock, Director of LRCRECEIVED. NOV 24 201g INITIATED MEASURE SU, SEC. OF Stare ATTORNEY GENERAL'S STATEMENT Title: An initiated measure changing initiative and referendum requirements. Ex This measure eliminates some information a ballot measure petition circulator must provide to a petition signer, including the circulator’s contact information and a statement whether the circulator is paid. Additionally, the measure eliminates the law barring individuals from sponsoring or circulating petitions for four years if they have committed multiple petition-law violations. It changes fiscal note requirements for initiated measures and initiated constitutional amendments, and removes fiscal notes from the ballot for these types of measures. By law, the Attorney General must write a title and an explanation for each initiated measure and initiated amendment. This proposal decreases the time in which the Attorney General must file the title. It eliminates the Attorney General’s deadline for filing an explanation for these types of measures. Current law requires sponsors to file signed initiative petitions with the Secretary of State at least one year prior to the general election. The measure changes this deadline to four months prior. Under this measure, most voter-approved ballot measures would take effect the day after the official vote canvass, rather than the following July 1 as the law currently states. ‘The measure repeals the statute that prohibits an initiated measure from embracing more than one subject.e ‘rostods uoged yoo Jo Ssaxppe peut pue ‘requmu auoyd ‘oureu oyy pu {0-6-2 § 03 quensind paredard ajou peasy Aue ‘[piouaB AamiOne 27 Aq paredaid se amseow payeain ap yo uoneuey da ue Onn ot SuEuAUes-wao}8 uORNad yp sus OM NOSIOd PES 01 TIRRTTEAE BEM opinaud 1[eys 10 was} uonned our, “9-dz-21 § ur papraaid ‘se woneziuedu0 jo qwourayms Aq parttedusoooe ag (S) ue ‘i0suods uonned ypea yo ssauppe pus awieU tn sopnppuy yet sostods uonned e s| oyM uosied yea Ssoquind-ouoyd Sureu-arp-Liosuods uogped yoee jo ssazppe ee E Aq puss ley Saepape ‘PozHB}OU B Aq, ae og (b) Tew pus ‘requinu ouoyd ‘oureu ayy pur {0€-6-z § 0} uensind g Ro ‘Sfereua’ Aousoye ‘paredaid ayou [easy Aue tpexaue Aeuroye ou} Aq paredard GH XS neq paredaud se uopeueyéxa pus spn om uyaico, (6) Se ae ane atch teupasure pares 230 woneuy xe ols Spenmuqns aq o} sy anseour payenyut Pun OR oun SupEeoa-RHO}-s uoRHad a1p suas OM UOSTad BS J Bumps uorpaps qeiouas axajo owp amy urwised (2) WoR0 OF SRHTERE VCMT apprend [Tey soye[nor}S uoHAd ay, T= 3 ‘amseot payepyuy og3 30 94 [Ny amp UHEIWOD CE) c “9-Le-zr § wy paptaod Tes pue samyeusys 0} uonemon Se UOTBZRTeRI0 Jo quawIAIES Aq parmedenesoe eg (9) 1 201d yms 30 Areyaioes at ypum ary oq [ays dunseoU ‘pute {rosuods uonnied ypea jo ssauppe pue oured ‘POUAAUY Ue oy poyelnouyp aq 0} 51 4 Se UORNad ayy, wT-1-z 2th sepnpout 3eua sosuods uopnad ® st oym wosied youo 4q poutys uLiog ysepuze pazyrejou v Aq payueduroooe og (b) sP¥as 0} popusure aq oT-1-z § YL te NONDEg ‘Sqeroue8 Aourope io ‘qn Aq paredazd se uoneueydxo pue oan ax urequo; (6) ; “SuoROOIH Jo preog aig SpaHRUANS 9q 03 st uowptreuTE poy 91 Aq paquiosead oq rey 9 ‘amp pur “e718 340} uoRAed Oca YOTUM ye WoRDeye TesauEH ok 30 yup au TEC) (e) Peeaais UoRRed stypnpouy ‘wopred aya.zo uxsoy ayy, ‘ayes Sustapuotre payer iu oy 30 323 Ing ay UPEIWOD (4) 30 Areyasvos au tp pay oq rade Sarieads 30 soquinu (We_UmTS B suyE]UCD siosuOds axa Jo @Bpaymouny at7 JO 380q oT S1leys pure samyeusys 305 uonenarT 0} 10}1d o1eI8 30 03 pire wognad argue orp eangzisuoo paqy squsuMOOp aqn Tet ‘Aseyaioes orp tay paly oq {feys woRMINSUOD amp 0} waUIpUoUTE supe; . pun paxnbarsoic or Spee dove ‘POIERINT We 10} payemarp 9q 0} Sf 41 se UONNHAd ayy, “C112 7 Lope SurUaOD ‘sTOMuOdS UoRied ore Jo spin.
