Signature Gathering Amendments

HB 74 amends Utah's rules for gathering signatures on initiative and referendum petitions. It requires that petition signers had the opportunity to read the full statement in the petition packet, and that signature gatherers believe signers read the law being petitioned. The bill also allows using spiral binders for petition packets and permits signature gatherers to remove individual sheets during collection. These changes directly affect individuals signing or collecting signatures for voter initiatives and referendums.
