Utah Court Expedites Hearing on Controversial Amendment D Ahead of November Ballot
Sep 9, 2024, 05:12 PM
A legal battle is unfolding in Utah over the proposed Constitutional Amendment D, which aims to limit ballot initiatives. The amendment, pushed by the Republican Legislature, has faced significant opposition. Critics argue it would undermine the democratic process by transferring power from the many to a select few. A lawsuit has been filed to block the amendment from appearing on the November ballot, alleging that the state failed to publish the amendment as required by the Utah Constitution for two months preceding the election. The Third District Court has granted a motion to expedite the proceedings, with a scheduling hearing set on September 8 in Salt Lake City. The court aims to handle the matter swiftly, given the approaching election date.
