OPALA, Judge.
This is an original proceeding, brought under the authority of 34 O.S.Supp.1992 § 8 1 to challenge the legal sufficiency of Initiative Petition No. 363 [IP 363], State Question No. 672, and an appeal, authorized by 34 O.S.1991 § 10(A), 2 from the ballot title prepared by the Attorney General [AG].
We (a) hold that the initiative measure in question is legally sufficient for submission to the electorate and (b) amend those portions of the AG’s substitute ballot title which are found deficient to inform the voters of the proposed measure’s effect.
