SB 13 standardizes the language used in state law to describe when voter-approved measures in cities and counties take effect, replacing outdated phrases like "become operative" and "take effect upon" with the clearer term "is effective." The bill specifies that initiated or referred ordinances and resolutions become effective the day after election results are officially canvassed, making the timing consistent across all four affected statutes.
