HB 641 -- Ballot Measures

Co-Sponsors:  Bean, Mayer, Deeken, Jetton, Myers

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.
