	Submitted on the record July 31, 2001.
	Margaret S. Olney, Smith, Gamson, Diamond & Olney, Portland,
filed the petition for petitioners.
	Rolf C. Moan, Assistant Attorney General, Salem, filed the
answering memorandum for respondent.  With him on the answering
memorandum were Hardy Myers, Attorney General, and Michael D.
Reynolds, Solicitor General.
	PER CURIAM
	Ballot title referred to the Attorney General for
modification. 
	PER CURIAM
	Petitioners challenge the Attorney General's certified
ballot title for a proposed initiative denominated by the
Secretary of State as Initiative Petition 40 (2002).  ORS
250.085(2).  The proposed initiative, if approved, would
incorporate into the Oregon Constitution several new provisions
concerning the negotiation of wages and working conditions in
public sector workplaces in Oregon.  The Attorney General's
certified ballot title is insufficient for the reasons described
by this court with respect to a similar ballot title for a
similar proposed measure in Novick/Bosak v. Myers, ____ Or ____,
____ P3d ____ (2001) (decided this date).  For the same reasons,
we refer the ballot title in this proceeding to the Attorney
General for modification.  ORS 250.085(8).
	Ballot title referred to the Attorney General for
modification.
