Supreme Court of Florida
Kenneth J. Detzner v. League of Women Voters of Florida, Appellees.
October 15, 2018256 So. 3d 803
Summary
The court affirmed an injunction barring Revision 8 from the ballot because its title and summary did not clearly state the revision's chief purpose or adequately inform voters of its true meaning and ramifications. The ballot language failed to identify which public schools would be affected, the significance of limiting school-board authority to schools they established, and the consequences for other public schools. The court applied de novo review and concluded that the defects were clear and conclusive.
