HB 3173 - DIGEST

Requires, concerning individual voter signatures on an initiative or referendum petition, the secretary of state must accept and not reject a valid voter signature if it matches the signature on the voter's registration as long as the requirements in this act are fulfilled.

Provides initiative and referendum petitions shall not require the signature gatherer to put their name, address, city, state, and zip code on the petition to ensure the safety of those individuals and to protect them from, and make them less susceptible to, intimidation, retaliation, or harassment.
