Summary

The bill forces every constitutional amendment or referred law on the ballot to include a clear label showing if it came from the Legislature or a citizen‑initiated petition. The Attorney General must also provide a short, objective explanation, the latest fiscal note, and standard voting instructions, all printed on the ballot. This gives voters immediate insight into the source of each measure.
