Committee on Judiciary Report on Proposition Number 50

There are 0 proposed amendments related to this document on which decisions have not been taken.

Phoenix, Arizona, November 21, 1910.

Mr. President:

Your Committee on Judiciary begs leave to report it has examined Proposition Number 50 as amended and respectfully recommends that said amended Proposition Number 50 be further amended by striking out the last sentence to-wit: the words ‘any contract or argument to waive any right to recover damages for death or injury shall be void,’ for the reason said words if adopted in this Constitution would limit the rights of contract and deny to persons injured the equal protection of the law and therefore be in conflict with the Constitution of the United States and take away the liberty of the people if valid.

We further recommend that as amended said Proposition do pass.

D.L. CUNNINGHAM,

Chairman.

We concur: A.C. Baker, J. Weinberger, A.F. Parsons, E.E. Ellinwood, Alfred Franklin, S.S. Keegan.

Amended Proposition Number 50

It is hereby proposed:

That no law shall be enacted in this State limiting the amount of damages to be recovered for causing the death or injury of any person.

Decisions yet to be taken
