Vote Yes on this bill if you want to curb petition fraud, stop per-signature payments, require at least 1,000 supporter signatures before a ballot title is issued, and reduce duplicate filings.

Good-government and election-integrity organizations, voter protection groups, and civic leagues may support this bill because it sets a 1,000-signature threshold, enhances bans on per-signature pay, and adds civil penalties to reduce fraud.

Vote No on this bill if you want to avoid new barriers and costs for citizen initiatives and prevent private lawsuits that could be used to deter or delay campaigns.

Ballot-measure sponsors, signature-gathering firms, civil libertarian groups, and grassroots initiative networks may oppose this bill because it increases the potential for lawsuits and adds a preliminary hurdle that could limit access to the ballot.
