Summary

Existing law generally requires the Attorney General to provide a ballot title for each measure to be submitted to the voters at a statewide election. The Attorney General is required to prepare a summary of the chief purposes and points of a statewide ballot measure as part of the ballot title and return the measure with the ballot title and summary to the Secretary of State. Upon receipt of the ballot title and summary, the Secretary of State is required to send notification of the filing deadline and the certification deadline to the proponents of the measure and to the county elections official. This bill would revise the provisions relating to the duties of the Attorney General and Secretary of State regarding state ballot measures and the provisions relating to proponents of a ballot measure. The bill would add and revise related definitions. This bill would incorporate changes made by AB 894 that would become operative only if both bills are enacted and this bill is enacted after AB 894.
