January 7, 2013231 Ariz. 145

Summary

The court held that Proposition 121 complied with Arizona’s separate-amendment rule because its provisions shared a common purpose and were both topically related and sufficiently interrelated. The court also held that the initiative petition’s 100-word description substantially complied with statutory requirements and did not create a substantial danger of fraud, confusion, or unfairness. It therefore reversed the trial court’s order enjoining placement of the proposition on the ballot.
