- Title
STATE CONSTITUTIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE: RETHINKING THE ANALYSIS OF ORIGINAL PURPOSE, SINGLE SUBJECT, AND CLEAR TITLE CHALLENGES.
- Authors
Dragich, Martha J.
- Abstract
State constitutions generally contain numerous procedural limitations on the state's legislative process, and courts occasionally invalidate laws that are found to have been passed in violation of these requirements. Professor Dragich argues that the courts have not provided well-reasoned analysis in these cases and argues that the goals of the procedural limitations are, at times, being frustrated by their lax enforcement. This Article focuses on three forms of procedural challenges in an attempt to explain where the courts have erred and to provide a more coherent method of analyzing these claims in the future.
