STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28333 / HJR002
The purpose of this legislation is to prevent the legislature from amending the current signature gathering
requirements for statewide ballot initiatives without voter approval.
FISCAL NOTE
As this legislation proposes no changes to existing statutes or administrative rules, the only anticipated
fiscal impact is the cost to put this constitutional amendment on the ballot for voter approval at the next
general election. The Secretary of State’s office estimates that the cost of any ballot measure does not exceed
$200,000.00, and its office typically receives a biennial appropriation of $300,000 for the costs of ballot
measures.
