Summary of LC 1331 — Revise ballot measure laws

Quick Facts

  • Bill Number: LC 1331
  • Title: Revise ballot measure laws
  • Subject: Ballot Issues (Elections)
  • Classification: bill
  • Introduced: November 12, 2024
  • Status: Draft died in process (LC)

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill’s title indicates it is intended to revise laws governing ballot measures (initiatives, referenda, and related ballot issues). No publicly available text has been provided in the record to specify the exact changes, scope, or policy objectives beyond the general aim of revising ballot measure laws.

Key Provisions

  • At this time, there is no released language detailing specific provisions, thresholds, timelines, or procedural changes. As a result, the precise changes proposed to existing ballot measure processes (such as qualification requirements, signature thresholds, petition timelines, filing procedures, or safeguards) are not publicly known from available records.

Note: If the bill text or committee summaries become available, those provisions can be added here with precise citations and descriptions.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Primary stakeholders likely affected (based on typical scope of “ballot measure laws”): voters, proponents and opponents of ballot measures, election administrators at state and local levels, and entities involved in ballot process administration (e.g., clerk/secretary of state offices, election boards).
  • Impact (general): Any revision to ballot measure laws can influence how initiatives and referenda are qualified, placed on ballots, adjudicated, funded, and implemented. Potential effects could include changes to signature requirements, verification processes, timing for submission, administrative procedures, or safeguards to ensure integrity and accessibility. Specific impacts cannot be determined without the bill’s text.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Introduced: November 12, 2024
  • Drafter Assigned: November 12, 2024
  • On Hold: November 12, 2024 (same day entry indicates the draft was placed on hold)
  • Draft Died in Process: May 26, 2025 (LC)

What “Died in Process” Means

  • The bill did not advance through the legislative process and is not expected to become law in its current form. It could potentially be reintroduced in the future, amended, or consolidated with other measures.

Next Steps / How to Track

    • The full text of LC 1331 (if released) and any amendments.
