Bill > SB56

This bill requires the signature page of a petition seeking to place a question on the ballot to provide, under certain circumstances, information in plain language reasonably calculated to be understood by an individual who has attained no higher than a grade 6 level of reading comprehension. Additionally, it requires that the statement about the purpose of a question on the ballot be written in plain language at the same reading level. The bill also provides that the State Board must consider the Federal Plain Writing Act of 2010 when preparing guidelines and instructions for compliance with these plain language requirements.
