Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in Tuolumne Jobs & Small Business Alliance v. Superior Court. In the TJSBA case, which was argued on the court’s late-May calendar, the court will address these issues: (1) Must a city comply with the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA] (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.) before adopting an ordinance enacting a voter-sponsored initiative under Elections Code section 9214, subdivision (a)? (2) Is the adoption of an ordinance enacting a voter-sponsored initiative under Elections Code section 9214, subdivision (a), a “ministerial project” exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Code section 21080, subdivision (b)(1)?
The opinion can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
