Arizona Supreme Court Allowed Clean Energy Constitutional Amendment to Go on General Election Ballot
Plaintiffs' appeal denied and trial court judgment affirmed.
On August 29, 2018, the Arizona Supreme Court affirmed a trial court judgment allowing the “Clean Energy for a Healthy Arizona Amendment” to be placed on the general election ballot. The amendment would require that electricity providers generate at least 50% of annual sales of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030. The plaintiffs had contested the validity of the ballot initiative and had asserted that the backers of the ballot initiative had not obtained enough valid signatures to qualify the initiative for the ballot. After a five-day trial, the court <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/money/business/energy/2018/08/27/arizona-clean-energy-proposal-backed-tom-steyer-approved-november-ballot/1114184002/">found</a> on August 27 that the backers had gathered enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
