By Representative Ogden

     On page 7, after line 35, insert the following:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 6.  A new section is added to chapter 29.81 RCW to read as follows:

     If consideration was provided for soliciting or procuring signatures on a state measure, the voters' pamphlet must disclose the percentage of signatures on the measure that were included on petitions where compensation was paid to solicit any signatures.  The statement in the voters' pamphlet must be worded substantially as follows:

". . . . . (insert the percentage) PERCENT OF THE SIGNATURES ON THIS MEASURE WERE INCLUDED ON PETITIONS WHERE PAID SIGNATURE GATHERERS WERE USED TO SOLICIT SIGNATURES."

The statement must be included immediately after the legal identification of the measure on the page where the proponents advocate approval of the measure.

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct internal references accordingly.
