Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General Re Limits or Prevents Barriers to Local Solar Electricity Supply. Advisory…

Summary

The Court approved the proposed solar-electricity constitutional amendment and its Financial Impact Statement for placement on the ballot, subject to satisfaction of the remaining initiative requirements. It held that the proposal concerns one logically connected subject, that the ballot title and summary are not clearly and conclusively defective, and that the Financial Impact Statement satisfies the governing requirements. POLSTON, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part, agreed on the single-subject issue but would have rejected the proposal because the ballot summary allegedly understated the amendment’s regulatory scope and effects.
