STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28454 / S1110
The purpose of this legislation is to increase voter involvement and inclusivity in the voter initiative/referendum
process. This will be accomplished by ensuring signatures are gathered from each of the 35 legislative districts,
so every part of Idaho is included in this process.
FISCAL NOTE
There will be no effect on the general fund.
Under existing law, county clerks already verify initiative/referendum signatures in every legislative district
where they are gathered. This bill would increase the number of districts where signatures are gathered, but
would not raise the total number of signatures gathered, so the existing work load would be more evenly spread
out amongst county clerks, rather than concentrating it into a few counties.
