In the Matter of the Title, Ballot Title and Submission Clause for 2015-2016 63. Tracee Bentley and Stan Dempsey V…

Summary

The court affirmed the Title Board’s approval of Initiative #63, holding that the proposal’s provisions all further the single subject of creating a constitutional right to a healthy environment. It also held that the title fairly, clearly, and accurately described the initiative without impermissible catch phrases or material omissions. Justice Gabriel, dissenting, would have held that the provision assigning the new right the highest priority created a separate subject and violated the single-subject requirement.
