California Governor Vetoes Bill to Make Ballot Access for Initiatives More Difficult

On October 7, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed AB 1451, which would have made it illegal to pay circulators on a per-signature basis. It also would have required that at least 10% of the valid signatures be collected by unpaid individuals. See the veto message here. Former Governors Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger had also vetoed bills to ban paying per-signature. However, no Democrat in either house of the legislature had voted against AB 1451.
