S.B. 4002 Ballot Proposition Amendments
This bill creates a fast-track process for placing a specific constitutional amendment on the Utah ballot if the legislature proposes one between August 1 and September 1, 2024. It shortens the usual timeline for preparing ballot titles, analyses, and arguments, requiring these materials to be submitted and published much faster than standard procedures. The law also sets strict word limits for arguments and allows for brief rebuttal arguments to be included in the voter information pamphlet. These changes apply only to amendments proposed during that specific two-week window in 2024.
