WASDEN November 7, 2017 The Honorable Lawerence Denney Idaho Secretary of State Statehouse VIA HAND DELIVERY RE: Certificate of Review Proposed Initiative to Add a New Statute Requiring Idaho Expand Medicaid Eligibility Dear Secretary of State Denney: An initiative petition was filed with your office on October 18, 2017. 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 regarding the policy issues raised by the proposed initiative, nor the potential revenue or expense 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. MATTER OF FORM The proposed initiative is for the most part in proper legislative format, although there is a small error in Section 2. It is not necessary to underline Section 's newly proposed Idaho Code section because it is not amending an existing section of the Idaho Code. Section 2 has a minor error in that it fails to show amendments to the existing statute by striking out deleted words and RO.
