FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Secretary of State (SOS) report that the exact cost of this proposal would depend upon how many ballot measures would be resubmitted and at which election.
Costs for a measure submitted at a regularly scheduled general election or general primary election would be publication costs (approximately $400,000 for the last measure submitted to statewide vote) while the state's share of the cost for a special election would be over $1 million, if it were held in April.
For purposes of this fiscal note, Oversight is showing the state impact to be a range between $0 (no measures resubmitted) to $1 million (one measure resubmitted at a special election) in years in which there are no scheduled general elections. Publication costs would vary depending on the length of the measure submitted.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal would require that any ballot measure approved by the voters and then amended or repealed by the General Assembly be resubmitted to the voters for approval. No changes by the legislature would take effect until the voters approved.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program, would not require additional capital improvements or rental space, and would not affect total state revenue.
