Nevada Supreme Court upholds language for Question 6
CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) – The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld language for Question 6, which will appear on the ballot for the 2024 election.
Question 6 asks the voter to consider whether the Nevada Constitution should be amended to create a fundamental right to an abortion. You can read more about Question 6 here.
Donna Washington and the Coalition for Parents and Children challenged the initiative, arguing that its description of effect is legally insufficient, and that the initiative includes an unfunded mandate. A district court had rejected this argument, resulting in an appeal to the State Supreme Court.
The court stated that “the initiative here does not require an appropriation or expenditure of money by its plain language and does not require the State to pay for or provide abortions.”
The Supreme Court found that the description was in fact legally sufficient.
