California Bill to Make it More Difficult for Statewide Initiatives to Get on the Ballot

California Assemblymember Evan Low (D-Campbell) has introduced AB 1451. It requires that at least 10% of the signatures on a statewide initiative petition must be collected by unpaid individuals. It also bans paying circulators on a per-signature basis. Here is the text.

The League of Women Voters of California opposes this bill. It has a hearing in the Assembly Elections Committee on Wednesday, April 10, at 9 a.m.

Several bills like this one were vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown in the past, but he is not Governor any longer.
