League of Women Voters v. Eu

Opinion

PUGLIA, P. J.

In this original proceeding, we revisit an area of the law which has become familiar judicial territory, the single-subject rule. Article II, section 8, subdivision (d) of the California Constitution reads: “An initiative measure embracing more than one subject may not be submitted to the electors or have any effect.” Here we consider application of this rule to an initiative measure entitled the Government Accountability and Taxpayer Protection Act of 1992 (hereafter GATPA or the initiative).
