Modifies provisions for ballot summary statements

Summary

The bill removes several older sections that governed official summary and fiscal‑note statements for statewide ballot measures and replaces them with new rules. It caps the official summary at 100 words and the fiscal‑note summary at 50 words, requires both to be impartial, and creates a process for the Secretary of State and Attorney General to draft and approve summaries when they are missing. The changes apply to any measure the General Assembly refers to voters.
