Modifies provisions for ballot summary statements

HB 3146 updates rules for how ballot measures are summarized for voters. It limits the official summary statement to 100 words and the fiscal note summary to 50 words, requiring both to be neutral and fact-based without bias. The bill specifies that the secretary of state prepares summaries if the legislature doesn’t provide them, and the attorney general must approve the legal content. These changes apply to all statewide ballot measures, including constitutional amendments and statutory initiatives, aiming to ensure clarity and fairness in voter information.
