§ 731.34.
The petitioners may designate in any initiative or referendum petition a committee
of not less than three of their number, who shall be regarded as filing the petition. After a petition has been filed with the city auditor or village clerk it shall
be kept open for public inspection for ten days. If, after a petition proposing an ordinance or other measure has been filed with
such auditor or clerk, the proposed ordinance or other measure, or a substitute for
the proposed ordinance or measure approved by such committee, is passed by the legislative
authority of the municipal corporation, the majority of the committee shall notify
the board of elections in writing and such proposed ordinance or measure shall not
be submitted to a vote of the electors. If, after a verified referendum petition has been filed against any ordinance or measure,
the legislative authority of the municipal corporation repeals such ordinance or measure,
or it is held to be invalid, the board of elections shall not submit such ordinance
or measure to a vote of the electors.
