Republican leaders in the Utah State Legislature are considering a special session to override a Utah Supreme Court ruling on citizen ballot initiatives.On Monday, lawmakers were still weighing whether to advance a proposed constitutional amendment undoing the ruling by the state's top court. A unanimous court ruled earlier this summer that the legislature overstepped its bounds when it overrode a citizen ballot initiative.
Lawmakers passed their own maps, which the plaintiffs argue constitutes illegal gerrymandering in favor of Republicans.'We hold that the people's right to alter or reform the government through an initiative is constitutionally protected from government infringement, including legislative amendment, repeal or replacement of the initiative in a manner that impairs the reform enacted by the people,' Justice Paige Petersen wrote in the Court's unanimous opinion.
