Van Hoomissen, J., dissented and filed an opinion. Petitioners are electors who timely submitted written comments concerning the content of the Attorney General's draft ballot title and who therefore are entitled to seek review in this court. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the Attorney General's certified ballot title does not do so. We therefore modify it and, as modified, certify it to the Secretary of State. Creates background-check requirement, with exceptions, for nondealer transfers at events offering over 25 firearms.
Revises statute governing minimum sentences for use, threatened use, of firearm during felony.
In case number S47166, petitioner Starrett challenges only the legal sufficiency of the Attorney General's caption. We turn to the arguments presented by petitioner Nichols in case number S47170. We turn to petitioner Nichols's arguments concerning the summary. Petitioner Nichols challenges the Attorney General's summary in two respects, one of which we find to be well taken. He asserts that the Attorney General's summary fails to summarize the measure and its major effect, in that it does not mention that the proposed measure provides for qualified immunity from civil liability for persons who voluntarily comply with the background check provisions of the proposed measure, even when such persons are not required to do so.
