When the Utah Supreme Court issues an opinion ruling that a state law is unconstitutional, this bill would let voters challenge that ruling through a new referendum process. Sponsors would have five days after the ruling to file an application, then would need to collect signatures from registered voters equal to 8% of the state's active voters, including 8% from at least 15 of Utah's 29 Senate districts, within about 106 days. If enough valid signatures are certified, the governor would place the question on the next general election ballot or call a special election, and the court's ruling would be temporarily put on hold; if voters approve the ruling by majority vote it would take effect, but if a majority votes against it, the ruling would not go into effect. The bill also sets out detailed procedures for petition forms, signature verification, ballot wording, canvassing results, and criminal penalties for petition fraud or paying people to sign or remove signatures.
