League of Women Voters of Utah v. Utah State Legislature (LWV 2)
Utah Supreme Court voided Amendment D, a legislatively referred proposed state constitutional amendment that would have allowed lawmakers to repeal citizen-initiated and approved ballot measures. The amendment would have overturned a prior Utah high court ruling. The high court found the legislature failed to follow the proper procedure for placing an amendment on the ballot.
