DeWine
Rejects Petition for “The Ohio Clean Energy Initiative” Amendment
(COLUMBUS,
Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today rejected a petition
seeking to amend the Ohio Constitution by adding “The Ohio Clean
Energy Initiative” because the petitioners did not submit the
minimum valid signatures required.
Ohio
Revised Code 3519.01(A) states that a proposed initiated
constitutional amendment must contain at least 1,000 signatures of
qualified voters. The submission, received on May 9, 2014, contained
only 836 valid signatures from 22 part-petitions.
“The
Attorney General’s Office has not made any determination concerning
the summary language of the submission,” Attorney General DeWine
said. “This rejection is based upon the failure to obtain at least
one thousand valid signatures.”
