AI Summary

  • Removes requirement that petition circulators have their affidavits notarized before a notary public, instead allowing them to provide a "statement of verification" without notarization.

  • Requires signature sheets to be attached to the secretary of state's official time-and-date-marked copy of the measure text, with signatures collected on any other copy deemed invalid.

  • Applies changes to referendum petitions (section 19-101), initiative and referendum signature verification (section 19-112), secretary of state petition processing (section 19-121.01), and recall petition procedures (section 19-205).

  • Creates conditional enactment tied to the outcome of referendum petition R-03-2014 regarding Laws 2013, chapter 209, with different sections taking effect depending on whether that referendum is approved, rejected, or fails to reach the ballot.

  • Modifies petition form requirements to distinguish between paid and volunteer circulators and removes language requiring notary verification from multiple statutory sections.
