The application for leave to appeal the June 7, 2018 judgment and order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. At oral argument the parties shall address whether the proposal at issue is eligible for placement on the November 2018 general election ballot as a voter-initiated constitutional amendment under Const. 1963, art. 12, § 2, or whether it is a revision to the constitution and therefore is ineligible for placement on the ballot.
