§ 9144 Ordinance Protest Petition Requirements

• •If enough people in a county don't like a new rule, they can sign a paper to stop it before it starts.
• •The paper needs signatures from at least 10% of the people who voted for Governor in the last big election.
• •If the paper is given to the county on time, the rule is paused, and the leaders have to look at it again.

A county makes a new rule that says no one can have a dog over 30 pounds. A lot of people are upset because they have big dogs.

If 10% of the people who voted for Governor last time sign a paper saying they don't like the rule, the rule is paused. The county leaders then have to talk about it again and decide what to do.
