Modifies provisions for ballot summary statements

HB 3209 reduces the word limit for official ballot summaries from 100 to 50 words (and keeps the fiscal note summary at 50 words) for statewide voter measures. It requires these summaries to be neutral, factual descriptions of proposed measures without bias. If the legislature doesn't provide a summary, the secretary of state prepares one within 20 days, seeking input from the bill's sponsor and chamber leaders, then submits it to the attorney general for approval within 10 days. This directly affects voters receiving ballot information and election officials managing statewide measures.
