Nebraska Supreme Court

State ex rel. Brooks v. Evnen

September 13, 2024317 Neb. 581

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court denied mandamus relief in two consolidated original actions challenging a proposed constitutional amendment concerning abortion. The court held that the initiative's provisions were naturally and necessarily related to the single general subject of creating a constitutional right to abortion and therefore did not violate Nebraska's single-subject rule. The court also held that declaratory relief was unavailable because mandamus supplied an equally serviceable remedy. No separate opinions were filed.
