Modifies provisions for ballot summary statements

Summary

The bill replaces existing statutes with new rules that cap ballot measure titles at 100 words and fiscal‑note summaries at 50 words, requiring neutral, non‑argumentative language. It establishes a step‑by‑step procedure for the secretary of state, attorney general, and courts to draft, approve, and, if challenged, revise these statements. The changes apply to all statewide ballot measures—including constitutional amendments, initiatives and referenda—and to the signatures collected for them.
