State Supreme Court Hears Arguments On Proposed Amendment D

(Salt Lake City, UT) — The Utah Supreme Court will rule on the future of the proposed constitutional Amendment D. The five justices heard oral arguments yesterday concerning the lower court’s decision that voided the proposal. Because of printing constraints, the proposal will still appear on ballots this November. A lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the legislature’s process was initially heard by a 3rd District Court judge who issued a preliminary injunction to void the amendment on September 12th. State attorneys appealed the ruling. Chief Justice Matthew B. Durrant adjourned the hearing without offering a time when the opinion will be issued.
