Judge Rules Against Amendment A For Failure To Properly Notify Public

(Salt Lake City, UT) — A proposed constitutional amendment to remove the provision that income tax revenue be used for public education is officially voided from Utah’s November General Election ballot. A district court judge says lawmakers failed to publish the amendment text in newspapers for two months prior to the election, as the state Constitution requires. Amendment A’s validity was all but decided after the state Supreme Court upheld a preliminary injunction voiding Amendment D for the same failure to properly notify the public. The Utah Education Association challenged the validity of the amendment last month.
