" Section 1. That § 2-1-14 be amended to read:
2-1-14. All signatures secured in a manner contrary to the provisions of this chapter may state
law shall not be counted.
Section 2. That § 2-1-15 be amended to read:
2-1-15. Upon the receiving of any initiative petition, referred law petition, or initiated
constitutional amendment petition, the secretary of state shall examine the petition. No signature of
a person may shall be counted by the secretary of state unless the person is a registered voter in the
county indicated on the signature line. No signature of a person may shall be counted if the
information required on the petition form is not accurate or complete. The secretary of state shall
generate the random sample under § 2-1-16 and make available to the public the petitions and
random sample validation sheets within thirty days of a request and payment of reasonable fees in
accordance with § 1-8-10.
Section 3. That § 2-1-18 be amended to read:
2-1-18. Nothing in §§ 2-1-15 to 2-1-18, inclusive, prohibits any interested person who has
researched the signatures contained on a validated petition from challenging in circuit court the
validity of any signature, the veracity of the petition circulator's attestation, or any other information
required on a petition by statute or administrative rule, including any deficiency that is prohibited
from challenge under § 2-1-17.1. The results of the process of signature verification by the Office
of the Secretary of State under chapter 2-1 shall be presumed valid as applied to all signatures for
purposes of considering any additional ground for disqualifying petition signatures, including any
ground listed in subdivisions 2-1-17.1(1) to 2-1-17.1(4), inclusive, and cumulating total valid
signatures to determine the results of an appeal under § 2-1-17.1. The summons and complaint for
a challenge under this section shall be served on each petition sponsor as a party defending the
validated petition being challenged. Any appearance by the attorney general at a challenge under this
section shall be limited to the process of signature verification by the Office of the Secretary of State
under chapter 2-1. For purposes of determining whether a sufficient number of valid signatures has
been submitted, the interested person may elect to proceed with a challenge limited to the sample
generated in accordance with § 2-1-16, with the resulting valid sample percentage applied to the
entirety of the petition signatures.
Section 4. That § 12-1-39 be amended to read:
12-1-39. No petition submitted may be made available to the public until the validation process
has been completed and the office where that petition was submitted has filed or rejected the petition,
except as provided in section 2 of this Act. "
