Subject IP 44 Draft Ballot Title dispute
Dear Attorney General Rosenblum and Secretary of State Richardson,
As an Oregon Elector I would like to file a complaint with your office regarding the incomplete language of the IP 44 Draft Ballot Title Caption. An important part of the proposed law in IP 44 requires that if a weapon is stolen or lost that it's required that the theft or loss of the weapon be reported with in 24 hours or owner will be subject to a violation of the law. While the Draft Ballot Title Caption did mention loss of a weapon it did not mention theft of a weapon which is a much more likely event to happen. Especially given that under the proposed law in IP 44, failure to report a theft of a weapon is violation of the law, it's important for Oregon Electors to know what they are signing for when Circulators are requesting a signature and when voting for a ballot measure. Requirement to report theft needs to be included in the Caption for IP 44 as theft and loss are identified as two separate issues in the body of the language of IP 44. I am asking that the Draft Ballot Title Caption be revised to include theft reporting requirement.
