## Proponents[edit]

Proponents include petitioner Daniel L. Law, Richard Hamilton and Phil Doe.

## Status of the initiative[edit]

Originally, the initiative was filed under Initiative 18, which was rejected due to the language. Following a review and comment hearing, the initiative was rewritten and introduced as Ballot Initiative #30. On June 6, No. 30 this version was again denied a title by the title setting board.

On June 11, Ballot Initiative #34, a revised version of No. 30, was submitted for review and comment. The Legislative Council Staff revised the initiative slightly and re-submitted as Ballot Initiative #37 on June 25. On July 17, the initiative was submitted to the Secretary of State's Office for a title setting hearing. A hearing on No. 37 before the Title Board was held on August 1 and a title was set. A motion for rehearing was denied on August 15, 2007.[2]
