Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Craney v. Attorney General

June 27, 2024

Summary

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the Attorney General’s certification of Initiative Petition 23-35, holding that the petition’s provisions satisfy the related‑subjects requirement of article 48 of the state constitution because they form an integrated collective‑bargaining scheme that includes the Secretary of Labor’s supervisory role. The court remanded for entry of a judgment declaring the certification proper.
