Text: Some preliminary observations may help to place the text of this measure in context. This measure repeats verbatim sections 2 (re: limitations on effects) and 6 (re: severability, self-executing, standing) of another proposed measure, Elections Division # 13, concerning which we also issue an opinion today. See Rooney v. Kulongoski (Elections Division # 13), 322 Or. 15, 902 P.2d 1143 (1995). This measure also combines, as its section 1(a) (re: minority status), section 5 and the introductory phrase of section 1 of Elections Division # 13, verbatim. The foregoing describes the entire substantive text of this measure. The text does not deal with the following subjects that are found in some of or all the other pending measures (Elections Division # 13, # 17, and # 21): [2] public instruction; right of conscience; public funds; marital status; private sexual behavior of public employees; and public libraries.
