                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that

            The bill permits an initiative or referendum petition to include
       space for a registered elector to voluntarily include his or her telephone
       number, electronic mail address, or both. If a space for the information is
       included, a petition must clearly indicate that the information is not
       required in order for a registered elector to sign the petition.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 1-40-111, add (1.5)
       as follows:
            1-40-111.  Signatures - affidavits - notarization - list of
       circulators and notaries. (1.5)  In addition to the information that
       a registered elector is required to provide on a petition
       pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, a petition may include
       space for a registered elector to include his or her telephone
       number, electronic mail address, or both. A registered elector
       is not required to provide this additional information. If a space
       for the information is included, the petition must clearly
       indicate that the information is not required in order for a
       registered elector to sign the petition.
            SECTION 2.  Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds,
       determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
       preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
