Bill > HB1247

This bill requires the secretary of state to create and distribute comprehensive notice about proposed constitutional amendments. Specifically, the bill mandates that town and city clerks must prominently display a notice prepared by the secretary of state that explains the proposed constitutional amendment. The notice must include a header indicating whether the amendment was proposed by a constitutional convention or the legislature, and must display the scheduled date of the vote. Additionally, the secretary of state is required to maintain a webpage on their official website with the same detailed information about the proposed amendment. These notices must be displayed for at least 60 days before the statewide vote on the constitutional amendment, ensuring that voters have ample time to review and understand the proposed changes. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving local government offices time to prepare for the new notification requirements.
