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. We agree with petitioner Nichols that such a limitation on personal liability is sufficiently important to be deemed a major effect of the proposed measure that should be included in the summary, provided that there is room within the 85-word limit to mention it. We also agree with petitioner Nichols that there is such room.
