§ 22-24-319 — Ballot proposition; when placed on ballot

(a) The ballot proposition for an initiative shall be
placed on the election ballot of the first statewide general
election that is held after:
(i) A sufficient number of qualified petitions were
filed;
(ii) A legislative session has convened and
adjourned; and
(iii) A period of one hundred twenty (120) days has
expired since the adjournment of the legislative session. If the
attorney general determines that an act of the legislature
enacted after the petition is filed is substantially the same as
the proposed law, the petition shall be void and the ballot
proposition shall not be placed on the election ballot, and the
secretary of state shall so notify the committee of applicants.
