Revise statement of purpose and implication for ballot issues

HB 678 proposes revisions to the "statement of purpose and implication" for statewide ballot issues presented to voters. It amends the existing structure to require the second part of this statement to be an itemized and bulleted list. This list must detail the primary impacts of the proposal, including specific changes and what remains the same, while explicitly prohibiting generalized assumptions or opinions, and is limited to 150 words. The first part of the statement would remain a 135-word explanation in complete sentences, and the overall statement must remain true, impartial, and in plain language. These revised statements would serve as both the petition title and the ballot title.
