Re:   Certificate of Review
Proposed Initiative Related to Animal Cruelty
Dear Secretary of State Ysursa:
An initiative petition was filed with your office on December 15, 2009. Pursuant
to Idaho Code § 34-1809, this office has reviewed the petition and has prepared the
following advisory comments. Given the strict statutory timeframe within which this
office must review the petition, our review can only isolate areas of concern and cannot
provide in-depth analysis of each issue that may present problems. Further, under the
review statute, the Attorney General's recommendations are advisory only. The
petitioners are free to accept or reject them in whole or in part. The opinions
expressed in this review are only those that may affect the legality of the initiative. This
office offers no opinion with regard to the policy issues raised by the proposed initiative.
BALLOT TITLES
Following the filing of the proposed initiative, this office will prepare short and
long ballot titles. The ballot titles must impartially and succinctly state the purpose of
the measure without being argumentative and without creating prejudice for or against
the measure. While our office prepares titles for the initiative, petitioners may submit
proposed titles for consideration. Any proposed titles should be consistent with the
standard set forth above.
