Revise statement of purpose and implication for ballot issues

This bill amends Montana law to change how ballot measures are described to voters. It requires that the official statement for statewide ballot issues include two distinct parts: a brief summary of up to 135 words and a bulleted list of primary impacts limited to 150 words. The new requirements mandate that the impact list contain specific factual details about what the proposal changes and what remains unchanged, while prohibiting generalized assumptions or opinions. These changes apply to ballot issues submitted to the secretary of state after the law takes effect and are intended to provide voters with clearer, more detailed information about proposed measures.
