AI Summary
This bill requires the Attorney General to prepare a "public investment impact disclosure" for certain ballot measures that would repeal, levy, or modify any tax or fee and have a fiscal impact statement showing a net change in state revenue. The disclosure must describe, in neutral language, the investments that would be affected if the measure is adopted, with a limit of 10 words (or 15 words if the impact is primarily to the state general fund). The disclosure must be included on the ballot, but is not considered part of the ballot title. The bill also amends existing laws related to ballot titles and fiscal impact statements for state ballot measures.
