Arizona Supreme Court

Chamber of Commerce v. Hon. kiley/state

August 2, 2017

Summary

The Arizona Supreme Court held that Proposition 206 does not violate the Revenue Source Rule, Separate Amendment Rule, or Single Subject Rule. The Revenue Source Rule applies to expenditures expressly required by an initiative or to state actions inherently requiring nondiscretionary expenditures, but not to expenditures only indirectly caused by the measure; Proposition 206 supplied a funding source for the Industrial Commission's mandatory tasks. The court accepted special-action jurisdiction but denied relief.
