Arizona Supreme Court
Joshua Stanwitz v. reagan/outlaw Dirty Money
November 21, 2018
Summary
The court affirmed the trial court’s judgment disqualifying the initiative from the November 2018 ballot. It held that the statute invalidating signatures collected by a registered circulator who was properly subpoenaed but failed to appear is constitutional both facially and as applied, because it reasonably protects the integrity of the initiative process without unreasonably restricting the initiative power. The court also upheld the trial court’s findings that the subpoenas were properly served and that the subpoenaed testimony was materially relevant.
