Ballot Measures:
initiative and referendum: signature distribution
Our Position: oppose
Bill Number: HCR2014
Sponsor: Adams, Mason: Anderson, et al.
Legislative Session: 2007 Legislative Session
It refers to the ballot a measure to require signature collection from at least three different counties for any statewide initiative or referendum. This creates more hoops to jump through and makes it more difficult for grassroots groups. Again, the rich guys like Howie Rich from New York will just put up more cash and easily comply with this. This measure also likely violates the U.S. Constitution and the provisions for one person one vote, by diluting the vote of the people in the most populous counties in Arizona.
Status
02/23/07 - It awaits action by the Rules Committee.
Action Needed
Please call House members and ask them to oppose this.
