SB 1225: Initiative and referendum measures: title and summary.
What SB 1225 does, verified June 1, 2026
The bill would amend the Elections Code to require the legislative analyst to prepare circulating titles and summaries for initiative and referendum measures, rather than the attorney general. This change would be contingent on voter approval of a specific provision in the 2025-26 regular session. The bill would also allow the legislature to add information to the voter information guide, but only with a majority vote. The changes aim to further the purposes of the Elections Code.
