Supreme Court of Florida
& SC16-12 Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General Re: Rights of Electricity Consumers Regarding Solar Energy Choice…
March 31, 2016188 So. 3d 822
Summary
The court approved the proposed constitutional amendment and its Financial Impact Statement for placement on the ballot. It held that the amendment satisfied the single-subject requirement, that the ballot title and summary were not clearly and conclusively defective or misleading, and that the Financial Impact Statement was clear, unambiguous, and legally sufficient. Justice Pariente, dissenting, would have removed the measure from the ballot because she believed it concealed its effect of preserving and constitutionalizing governmental regulatory authority.
