Jaime a Molera v. Katie Hobbs

Summary

The court held that the initiative's 100-word description complied with the statutory requirements because it identified the measure's principal provisions and was neither objectively false or misleading nor obscured the measure's basic thrust. The court also held that the circulators' graduated hourly wages and spin-the-wheel program did not violate the prohibition on compensation based on signatures collected, and that only signatures gathered during periods involving unlawful bonus payments could be disqualified. The superior court's judgment was affirmed in part and reversed in part, and the initiative was ordered placed on the November 3, 2020 ballot.
