AI Summary

  • Allows local governments to direct voters to the county voter information guide for tax rate details instead of including full information on the ballot when a measure imposes taxes with multiple rates or authorizes bond issuance

  • Requires local elections officials to provide a "measure information statement" with sample ballots that must include: purpose of the tax, all applicable tax rates, mechanisms for rate changes over time, tax duration, and estimated annual revenue over 10 years

  • For bond measures secured by property taxes, the measure information statement must include estimates of average and highest annual tax rates, the final year taxes will be collected, and total debt service including principal and interest

  • Measure information statements must be filed with elections officials no later than 88 days before the election

  • Authorizes electronic transmission of measure information statements to voters who have opted to receive election materials electronically, and allows one statement per household where multiple voters share the same surname and address
