Heading: Review Petition Requirements

Text: The statute authorizing this special judicial review, ORS 250.085(2), requires that the petition for review shall state the reasons the title filed with the Secretary of State does not substantially comply with the requirements of ORS 250.035 and 235.039. Thus, the petition must state grounds related to the standards in those statutes. Further, those grounds must be ones raised in writing during the administrative process or grounds based on ballot title changes made during the administrative process. Kafoury v. Roberts, supra . Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure also prescribe some petition for review requirements. ORAP 11.30(4)(a) requires that the petition state the full text of the title certified by the Attorney General, show the reason the title does not substantially comply with the statutes, and propose a substitute ballot title which the petitioner contends would substantially comply.
