Senate Roll Call 168: Passed

To eliminate the authority of the state board of canvassers to determine whether sufficient signatures have been turned in on a statewide ballot question or initiative, and whether its form meets certain technical requirements specified in the law. This authority would be transferred to the director of the elections bureau in the Secretary of State office. House Bills 5648 to 5650 and Senate Bills 973 to 976 transfer authority in matters related to statewide ballot initiatives from the canvassers to the elections bureau director.
