       RE:    Certificate of Review
              Proposed Initiative Amending the Idaho Sunshine Law to Limit Campaign
              Contributions by Persons Doing Public Business, to Amend Statutes Related
              to Bribery, and to Add a New Statute for Post-Employment Restrictions on
              Public Officials

Dear Secretary of State Denney:

       An initiative petition was filed with your office on February 16, 2016. Pursuant to
Idaho Code § 34-1809, this office has reviewed the petition and 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 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, nor the potential revenue impact to the state
budget.

                                     BALLOT TITLE

       Following the filing of the proposed initiative, this office will prepare short and long
ballot titles. The ballot titles should 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.
