Bill > SB29

This bill aims to improve the clarity and accessibility of information related to ballot questions and petitions by requiring that summaries and statements about ballot questions be written in plain language, meaning they should be easily understandable by voters and avoid legal jargon, double negatives, or the passive voice. It also mandates that the full text of ballot measures be posted by boards of elections for at least 90 days before a general election, providing more time for public review and comment on proposed changes to laws or the constitution. Additionally, the bill modifies the content required on the signature pages of petitions, ensuring a clear title and a plain language summary of the proposal, along with a statement explaining the practical outcome of each voting choice, are included.
