§ 101288 Petition Submission Requirements

This law says that if a petition is signed correctly by enough people, the secretary must send a copy of it to the board and the general manager, but without the signatures.

Key Takeaways

  • •If a petition is signed correctly and has enough signatures, it must be sent to the board and general manager.
  • •The copy sent does not include the signatures, just the petition itself.

Example

A group of parents in a school district collect signatures to ask for a new playground.

If they get enough signatures and fill out the petition correctly, the school secretary must send a copy of the petition to the school board and the principal, but they don't need to include the names of the people who signed it.
