Statewide

The Attorney General has petitioned the Court to review a proposed citizens' initiative on the adult use of marijuana, asking whether it meets two legal requirements: (1) It contains only a single subject; and (2) It has a fair ballot summary. The Court will also consider whether a new law affects its review of the initiative.
