This bill requires sponsors of ballot measures to submit their proposed initiatives to the Legislative Research Council for review at least six months before they can start collecting signatures, ensuring the measures meet legal requirements and don't have unintended fiscal impacts on the state. The bill clarifies that the Research Council director has up to fifteen workdays to provide written comments back to sponsors, the attorney general, and secretary of state to help them fix any problems with their proposals.
