Distribution of information on local referenda. Authorizes local governing bodies of counties and cities to disseminate neutral explanations of pending local referenda at polling places and by publication one or more times before the election. The explanation is limited to 500 or fewer words. In addition, the bill provides that this authorization shall not be construed as a limitation on the dissemination of other neutral materials or advertisements on issues of public concern that are the subject of a referendum and that do not advocate passage or defeat of the referendum. This bill is identical to SB 359.
