How long will it take for the official Title and Summary to be issued and delivered to the Secretary of State?
To prepare a Title and Summary, the Attorney General’s Office must obtain a fiscal impact report prepared jointly by the California Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst’s Office. These agencies have twenty-five (25) business days, or more if needed, after receipt of the proposed measure from the Attorney General’s Office to complete the fiscal impact report. Upon receipt of the fiscal impact report, the Attorney General’s Office has fifteen (15) calendar days in which to issue Title and Summary and deliver it to the Secretary of State. A petition must not be circulated for signatures until the official Title and Summary is issued. A fiscal impact report is not required for proposed Referendum measures.
