| The legal voters of each city, town and plantation shall vote | | by ballot on this question and designate their choice by a cross | | or check mark placed within a corresponding square below the | | word "Yes" or "No." The ballots must be received, sorted, | | counted and declared in open ward, town and plantation meetings | | and returns made to the Secretary of State in the same manner as | | votes for members of the Legislature. The Governor shall review | | the returns and, if it appears that a majority of the legal | | votes are cast in favor of the Act, the Governor shall proclaim | | that fact without delay, and the Act takes effect 30 days after | | the date of the proclamation. |
|
| | | The Secretary of State shall prepare and furnish to each | | city, town and plantation all ballots, returns and copies of | | this Act necessary to carry out the purposes of this | | referendum. |
|
| | | Currently, state law conforms to the opt-out provisions of | | the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act regarding the disclosure of | | nonpublic personal information. This bill puts in place an | | opt-in requirement so that financial services providers, | | including banks, credit unions, securities firms and mortgage | | companies, must have permission from individuals before | | disclosing nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated 3rd | | parties, but only upon approval by voters at a statewide | | referendum. |
