Bill Summary
CONCERNING VOTER TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS TO EXPAND INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDING OF INITIATED STATEWIDE BALLOT MEASURES, AND, INCONNECTION THEREWITH, REQUIRING THE FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR CERTAIN INITIATED STATEWIDE BALLOT MEASURES TO DESCRIBE THE MEASURE'S LIKELY EFFECT ON THE MAIN AREAS OF STATE EXPENDITURE.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase transparency for voters regarding the funding of initiated statewide ballot measures, which are proposals that citizens can put on the ballot to become law. Specifically, it requires that if a ballot measure proposes a tax change that reduces state revenue, the official description of the measure must include an estimate of its likely impact on the state's three largest areas of program expenditure, in addition to the projected dollar amount of revenue reduction. Furthermore, for initiated measures that would increase state spending without identifying a clear funding source or sufficient spending cuts, or for measures that mandate how existing revenue must be spent, the bill mandates that the fiscal impact statement must also describe the likely effect on the state's three largest areas of program expenditure. The term "fiscal impact statement" refers to an analysis prepared by the legislative council detailing the financial consequences of a proposed measure.
