DESCRIPTION
This bill modifies procedures for the review and approval of ballot summaries, fiscal notes, and fiscal note summaries for measures placed on the ballot by the General Assembly and for petitions being circulated for signatures to place measures on the ballot. Any court challenge to a ballot summary, fiscal note, or fiscal note summary must state the reason or reasons they are insufficient or unfair. If the court considers a fiscal note or fiscal note summary, it will either certify the note or summary to the Secretary of State or remand the fiscal note or fiscal note summary to the State Auditor for revision. If a fiscal note or fiscal note summary is found to be insufficient by the Attorney General, the note or summary will be returned to the State Auditor for revision.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
