The Secretary of State shall immediately transmit a copy of the measure to the Attorney General. Within 10 days after it is filed, the Attorney General shall provide and return to the Secretary of State a ballot title for the measure. The ballot title may differ from the legislative or other title of the measure and shall express in not exceeding 100 words the purpose of the measure.

Immediately upon receipt of the ballot title prepared by the Attorney General, the Secretary of State shall mail to all persons who may have requested the preparation of that ballot title, a notice addressed to them at the address accompanying the request, stating that the Attorney General has made and returned the ballot title. The notice shall also contain a copy of the ballot title prepared by the Attorney General. 9053. Each measure shall be designated on the ballot by the ballot title certified to the Secretary of State by the Attorney General.
