Initiative and referendum circulation.

Existing law requires the proponents of an initiative or referendum to submit the text of the proposed measure to the Attorney General and to request from the Attorney General a title and summary for the measure prior to circulating the measure for signatures. Existing law requires the proponents of an initiative measure to pay a fee of $200 at the time of submitting the text of the proposed measure to the Attorney General. Existing law requires that this fee be refunded to the proponents if the measure qualifies for the ballot within 2 years of the date on which the Attorney General issued the title and summary. If the measure does not qualify for the ballot within 2 years, existing law requires that the fee be deposited in the General Fund. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
