After ending 2015 with a tax opinion about the Legislature’s power to override a multistate compact, the Supreme Court will start the new year with a high-profile decision about the Legislature’s power to ask the voters to weigh in on whether the U.S. Constitution should be amended to override the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United opinion. As expected, the Supreme Court today announced that, on Monday morning, it will file its opinion in Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. Padilla. The case was argued on the court’s October calendar and an opinion must file Monday to comply with the 90-day rule.
The opinion can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
