Arizona Supreme Court

Montenegro v. Fontes

September 29, 2025

Summary

The court held that the legislative leaders had standing to challenge provisions of the Voters’ Right to Know Act allegedly delegating legislative power to an executive agency, even though the agency had not yet exercised that authority. The court declined to decide severability because the constitutionality and scope of the challenged provisions had not yet been determined. It reversed and remanded for further proceedings and vacated the court of appeals’ decision.
