Elections: petitions; ballot initiative and constitutional amendment petition filing deadlines; modify, and modify petition signature requirements. Amends sec. 471 of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.471).

This bill would have changed the deadlines for filing petitions to place constitutional amendments, new laws, or laws to be repealed on the ballot. It requires petitioners to submit their signatures 160 days before an election for amendments and 200 days before an election for new laws, while also setting a filing limit for repeal petitions. Additionally, the bill would have required petitioners to sort signatures by congressional district and provide a written estimate of how many signatures come from each district. Because the bill was vetoed by the Governor, these changes were not enacted into law.
