ELECTIONS – Amends existing law to require an updated fiscal impact statement for initiative petitions.
Idaho's S 1117 requires the Division of Financial Management to provide updated fiscal impact statements for initiative petitions after modifications are made to the petition. The bill mandates that these updated statements be delivered within 10 working days of receiving notice of changes, and a final statement must be filed by July 20 each year for petitions with sufficient signatures. The summary of the fiscal impact (under 100 words) and detailed statement must be included in voters' pamphlets, on ballots, and published online by August 1. This directly affects initiative petitioners, state agencies, and voters who review election materials. The law applies to state-level initiatives but excludes city or county measures.
