Bill > SB221

This bill proposes several changes to the requirements for certain petitions requesting an election and ballot propositions in Texas. It amends the Election Code to require that ballot propositions must be written with definiteness, certainty, and facial neutrality so that voters are not misled. The bill also creates a process for the Secretary of State to review ballot proposition language and a mechanism for courts to compel cities to use ballot language that meets these standards. Additionally, the bill makes changes to the signature verification process for petitions and establishes requirements for the form and use of petition templates.
