The act requires the fiscal impact statement and ballot information booklet entry for the following types of initiated measures to include a description of the measure's likely effect on the 3 largest areas of program expenditure of the state: A measure that increases state expenditures, except for de minimis and administrative expenditures, and that does not identify and provide for a sufficient source of revenue or sufficient reductions in state spending to account for the increased expenditures; and A measure that requires existing revenue sources to be reallocated and spent in a particular way. The act also modifies existing required language for ballot titles and the ballot information booklet for certain initiated measures to mirror the language used in the act.

This record carries a fingerprint of its official content, computed by our data pipeline with the SHA-256 algorithm — a real computation over the record itself, not a badge we award ourselves. Anyone can recompute it from the official source and compare.

What it covers: the record exactly as the official source publishes it — its identifiers (bill number, session, jurisdiction), its official title and long title, its official summary, its status, its sponsors in published order, every recorded action, every recorded vote, and the link to each official text version — assembled in a fixed canonical form described on the How this data works page.
The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.
If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
