Little vetoed similar legislation in 2019 out of concern a federal court could find it unconstitutional and dictate the state’s ballot initiative process.
Reclaim Idaho says this latest measure would make it nearly impossible get initiatives on the ballot and have filed suit in the Idaho Supreme Court to strike down the law as unconstitutional.
