Summary:
Statewide
The Attorney General has petitioned the Court to review a proposed citizens' initiative on a minimum wage in Florida, asking whether it meets two legal requirements: (1) It must contain only a single subject; and (2) It must have a fair ballot summary. A companion case addresses the financial impact statement to the proposed amendment. The Court requested briefing on whether it has jurisdiction to review financial impact statements, and the State argues that it does.
Appearance For Attorney General:
Christopher J. Baum, Deputy Solicitor General, Tallahassee, 850-414-3300
