good morning. >> good morning. >> anything to understand whmakg it easier has to be great. >> on the one hand they enjoy near universal approval. 81% has indicated as much in a poll. on the other hand initiatives have another issue to deal with. the ppic, the polling agency, found that 83% of all californians find initiatives too complex and confusing. voters are in the dark about the big money supporting and opposing signature gathering efforts to place initiatives on the ballot. you put it all together and that disconnect as led a bipartisan. when have i last heard that. a bipartisan majority of the legislature to pass a new law. it's called senate bill 1253. it's designed to make the initiative process just a little bit more manageable. >> what are the changes in this

law and how are they going to help voters? >> a couple of things to think about. here are the major elements. when proponents secure 25% of the signatures required for qualification, the legislature must set aside a 30-day period for hearings and public input on the proposal. proponents may modify the proposal. they may drop the idea if they sense a significant uphill fight. the second thing is the state will be required to list the top ten donors that support and oppose the proposed initiative. that new level of transparency will enable voters to see who's behind the proposal. since many of us rely on groups that we just to guides as our own decision. it's important to note here that the new process doesn't add, doesn't take away power from the legislature. it does offer a new way for

people to see what is going on and for propoennents and oppones to see if things get too difficult and maybe remover some of the clutter in advance. >> that's interesting. this could be a process where if things aren't going early, people may abandon the proposition. it's not going to bet get on the ballot, we're not going to have to read it and be confused about yes or no on this initiative. >> yes. >> when you add a new law there's some confusion. it's not going to end it all. >> it's not going to end it all. that's for sure. it's going to help. some say it doesn't go far enough. clearly given the sponsors and opponents spent hundreds of millions of dollars collectiv y ly come campaigning initiatives. there's a new opportunity for

people to learn early. to learn early the issues and who is on what side. opponents say the signature gathering threshold of just 5% those thresholds are too low allowing special interest to easily get just about any measure they want on the ballot. it doesn't change on that side. those last minute infusions of massive campaign come tntributi that aren't reported that's a concern. we never know what's going to go on. so much money comes in at the very end. there are some concerns here. here is the final one. it fails to deal with, i don't know about you, but the language of these things. four or five negatives in a sentence. none of that's going to change. still, okay, we pulled it apart

and talked about the problems, it's still a step. it's a small step. a bill that will shed a bit more light on the initiative process. given the difficulties faced by the voters, it can only help. >> i think listing the top ten donors is a step in the right direction. i know what you mean about the language being so confusing. you wonder who wrote these things. sometimes it's helpful to read the oppositional remarks because it's more concise and get right to the point. >> i've been doing this my entire adult life. i get these things in front of me and i want to do anything but read them. >> i can't tell you how happy that makes me that you get confused. >> this is a step. >> thanks again for your time. stay with us. coming up, a driverer picks up an unexpected passenger on his way to dinner.
