Bill to Enhance Transparency in Initiative Process Moved to September Legislative Agenda
Councilmember Bonds introduced the 'Land Transparency to Every Resident Amendment Act of 2025' (Bill 26-436), which aims to amend the initiative process. The bill proposes requiring short summaries on petitions and ballots, specifying font size for clarity, requiring verified statements of contributions from proposers, and mandating posting of filings online. It also adjusts timelines for challenging Board of Elections decisions. An amendment was accepted to modify the definition of 'one subject' for ballot measures. The bill was moved to the non-consent agenda for the September 22nd legislative meeting to allow for further deliberation and public review.
