In the Matter of Submission Clause for 2009-2010 No. 45

Summary

The court affirmed the Title Board’s setting of the title and ballot title and submission clause for Initiative #45. It held that the initiative contained a single subject—preserving individuals’ ability to choose their own health care arrangements—and that the title was fair, accurate, and not misleading. The court also held that the phrase “right of health care choice” was descriptive rather than an impermissible catch phrase.
