The bill would require signature-gathering firms to be licensed by the state and would prohibit them from paying petition circulators by the signature. It would also impose several new accountability measures — such as tougher rules for petition notarization — and would create a system by which a circulator’s signatures could be tossed if certain requirements are not met.
The bill also would make other changes to the initiative process, moving up deadlines for filing petitions and withdrawing initiatives, allowing people to remove their signature from a petition if they change their mind and tweaking the language surrounding initiatives.
