The Arizona Supreme Court found that several provisions of the 2022 budget, including a controversial ban on face mask mandates in K-12 schools, violate a provision of the state constitution requiring individual bills to encompass a single subject.

The ruling will likely bring about a seismic shift in the way lawmakers craft future budgets.

Less than two hours after it heard oral arguments in the case on Tuesday, the justices unanimously upheld a trial court ruling that several budget bills violated a section of the Arizona Constitution known as the “single-subject rule.” That rule mandates that legislation embrace “one general subject” and that the subject be clear in the title of the bill.

1. You should addd "Arizona" to your subject line.

2. More posts here would be better off with including relevant state names in their subjects

So many things don't make sense until you drill down into it more to figure out where it's happening.

3. Yes. This one is egregious, though, starting with the words

“Supreme Court”. We are emulating the MSM with click-bait headers. But here you don’t get anything for the clicks.

7. It's not as cool as you think it is......

This case was about whether this stuff could be included in the budget. It had nothing to do with whether the provisions were okay on their own.
