EXPLANATORY STATEMENT COMMITTEES SCHEDULE MEETINGS

Initial appointments have been made to the explanatory statement
committees for ballot measures to be voted on at the November 4, 2008
General Election.  Chief petitioners appointed two members to each
committee and the Secretary of State appointed two other committee
members.  The four appointees are responsible for selecting a fifth
committee member.

For each ballot measure to be voted on at the General Election, the
explanatory statement committee is responsible for preparing an
impartial, simple, and understandable statement explaining the measure,
not to exceed 500 words.  Upon completion of this task, the statement
will be filed with the Secretary of State, Elections Division so that a
public hearing on the statement may be scheduled.  If a statement
receives comments during the public hearing, the explanatory statement
committee must meet to review comments and consider revisions to the
statement.

The Committee Services office will conduct conference call meetings
with explanatory statement committees to select fifth members, and
subsequently hold meetings with committees to write and possibly revise
statements.  Interested parties may listen to the committee
deliberations however, committees are not required to take public
testimony.  The initial committee membership and some scheduled
committee meetings are listed below.  Additional information will be
publicized when information is available.
