Initiative and Referendum Proposals
Pending Review By Attorney General



Once the text of a proposed initiative measure has been written, the proponent(s) must submit it to the Attorney General with a written request that a title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed initiative measure be prepared. Upon receipt of the request, the Attorney General prepares a title and summary, which will be the official summary of the initiative measure. The Attorney General then provides a copy of the title and summary to the proponent(s) and the Secretary of State. Once an initiative receives a title and summary, the proponent(s) are able to begin gathering signatures in order to qualify their initiative for the ballot.

The full text of the initiatives pending at the Attorney General's Office are available on the Attorney General's website.
