Nevada Bill to Make Initiative Petitioning More Difficult

Nevada SB 434 has a hearing in the Senate Legislative Operations & Elections Committee on Monday afternoon, April 6. Here is a copy of the bill. It makes it more difficult for initiative circulators to work, by requiring them to orally tell everyone they approach whether they are being paid or not. It also requires initiative proponents to file a list of the names and contact information of all paid circulators before the petition can circulate, and requires updated information on a monthly basis. The latter provision is almost identical to a Washington state law that was held unconstitutional in WIN v Rippie, 213 F.3d 1132 (2000). Thanks to Janine Hansen for the news about SB 434.
