Initiative Campaigns: Do’s and Don’ts Checklist for Elected Officials and Public Employees

The California Secretary of State’s “Statewide Initiative Guide” provides the procedures and requirements for preparing and circulating initiatives, filing sections of the petition, and describing the procedure for verifying signatures on the petition.  The Guide is available here.  To help elected officials and public entity employees understand the primary restrictions on what they may and may not do when involved in initiative campaigns, Meyers Nave Principal Richard D. Pio Roda prepared this Do’s and Don’ts Checklist that is published in the January/February 2017 issue of California Special District magazine.  Please contact Rich with any questions.
