AI Summary
This bill clarifies how fiscal impact statements and the meaning of votes are presented for statewide referendum measures, which are public votes on laws already passed by the legislature. Specifically, it ensures that the condensed summary on the ballot label for a referendum will include the fiscal impact statement, which is an analysis of the estimated financial effect on the state and local governments. Additionally, for statewide referendum measures, the concise summary in the state voter information guide will now explain the meaning and effect of voting to "keep the law" versus voting to "overturn the law," rather than the standard "yes" and "no" vote explanations.
