   3519.08 Withdrawal of petition

   (A) Notwithstanding division (I)(2) of section 3501.38 of the Revised Code, at any time prior to the sixtieth day before the day of an election at which an initiative or referendum is scheduled to appear on the ballot, a majority of the members of the committee named to represent the petitioners in the petition proposing that initiative or referendum under section 3519.02 of the Revised Code may withdraw the petition by giving written notice of the withdrawal to the secretary of state.

   (B) After a majority of the members of the committee named to represent the petitioners gives notice to the secretary of state that the petition proposing the initiative or referendum is withdrawn under division (A) of this section, all of the following shall apply:

   (1) If the Ohio ballot board has not already certified the ballot language at the time a majority of the members of the committee gives the written notice of withdrawal, the board shall not certify ballot language for that proposed initiative or referendum to the secretary of state.

   (2) The secretary of state shall not certify a ballot form or wording to the boards of elections under sections 3501.05 and 3505.01 of the Revised Code that includes ballot language for that proposed initiative or referendum.

   (3) The proposed initiative or referendum shall not appear on the ballot.

   (C ) No petition that has been filed, and subsequently withdrawn under this section, may be resubmitted.

   Thanks, bryan. I figured it was legal- groups like that have lawyers advising them of course. It seems to me though that the interests of the petitioners aren’t considered in this law. Though on the other hand, I guess a group could collect signatures and not submit them at all, which would amount to the same thing.

   Some of the supporters are not happy with this decision. One of those who worked to get this issue on the ballot has talked to an attorney to try to stop it from being taken off the ballot…

   I’m not surprised. I’d be angry too if I signed the petition and then some deal was struck to stop the process.

   Another thing I’ve noticed is the fact for many people, a bad credit score is the response to circumstances further than their control. As an example they may happen to be saddled having an illness so they have substantial bills for collections. Maybe it’s due to a work loss or perhaps the inability to go to work. Sometimes separation and divorce can really send the money in an opposite direction. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this site.
