Introduced
by
To authorize a criminal penalty of up to $5,000 and six months in jail on the circulator of a statewide ballot measure petition who knowingly acquires a signature through fraud, misrepresentation or deceit, and require circulators to certify that they did not do this. The bill would also require rather than just allow statewide ballot measure supporters to submit ballot language to the state Board of Canvassers for approval, and require the board to check submitted petitions for duplicate signatures.
Referred to the Committee on Campaign and Election Oversight
