AB 195 Effective January 1, 2018 This new requirement changes the way that bond measures appear on the ballot Polling around the State from the first few months of 2018 shows that it has the impact of substantially confusing voters and artificially depressing voter support, by as much as 10-12 points in some cases There are extensive efforts in Sacramento currently trying to fix the law as it relates to bond measures, potentially in time for a November 2018 election. We probably won t know until June or even July if the law will be fixed in time for our election this fall As a result, we should plan for the potential need to use a version of the AB 195- compliant ballot language in 2018 (currently working on this with Legal Counsel) We need to prepare ourselves to see poll results that will likely come in lower than our baseline poll in 2017 not because of any change in voter perception, but because the new law makes the ballot label extremely confusing
