1) 2006 House Bill 6289 (Limit authority of state board of canvassers )  by admin on January 1, 2001 
Introduced in the House on June 29, 2006, to limit the authority of the state board of canvassers to devise the 100-word description of statewide ballot initiatives that appears on the ballot. This authority would be transferred to the director of the elections bureau in the Secretary of State office, although a majority of the board of canvassers could overrule the director. There are two Republicans and two Democrats on the four-member board, so a decision to overrule would have to be bi-partisan

The vote was 56 in favor, 45 opposed and 6 not voting

(House Roll Call 1006 at House Journal 81)
