Citizens rights stifled ? Idaho Supreme Court to rule on stricter ballot initiative law Hayat Norimine, The Idaho Statesman
Jun. 29 The Idaho Supreme Court on Tuesday heard arguments on whether a new law that makes it harder to place citizen-led initiatives on the ballot passes constitutional muster.
Reclaim Idaho, a grass-roots organization that spearheaded the successful Medicaid expansion initiative in 2018, sued the Legislature in May, shortly after lawmakers passed the new bill.
Questions from the justices on Tuesday focused largely on whether citizens had a fundamental right to place initiatives on the ballot and whether the Legislature exceeded its limitations on how difficult to make the process.
