| 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. |
