AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah's citizen petition process requires signature collectors for initiatives and referenda to sign a sworn verification statement at the end of each signature packet. This bill corrects the printed form used for that statement by replacing an outdated "Name" line with "Signature" on both state-level and local-level petition forms, ensuring the collector actually signs the verification rather than just printing their name. The bill also reorders and clarifies certain statements on the local initiative and referendum verification forms—confirming that signature dates are accurate and that no payment was given to encourage signing—so these local forms match the structure already used on state-level forms.
