Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General Re: Use of Marijuana for Certain Medical Conditions (Financial Impact Statement)

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court reviewed a proposed citizen-initiative amendment authorizing the medical use of marijuana for certain medical conditions, along with its Financial Impact Statement. The Court held that the proposed amendment satisfied Florida's single-subject requirement, that its ballot title and summary were not clearly and conclusively defective, and that the Financial Impact Statement complied with Florida law. The Court approved the amendment and statement for placement on the ballot without expressing an opinion on the proposal's merits.
