LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 915, as introduced, Denham. Initiative and referendum
circulation.
Existing law requires the proponents of an initiative or
referendum to submit the text of the proposed measure to the Attorney
General and to request from the Attorney General a title and summary
for the measure prior to circulating the measure for signatures.
Existing law requires the proponents of an initiative measure to pay
a fee of $200 at the time of submitting the text of the proposed
measure to the Attorney General. Existing law requires that this fee
be refunded to the proponents if the measure qualifies for the ballot
within 2 years of the date on which the Attorney General issued the
title and summary. If the measure does not qualify for the ballot
within 2 years, existing law requires that the fee be deposited in
the General Fund.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
