Opinion No. 25-3795

January 28, 1925

BY: JOHN W. ARMSTRONG, Attorney General

TO: Requested by: Hon. John E. Hall, Jr., State Representative, Santa Fe, N.M.

Special Election Machinery would have to be provided in Order to Submit Child Labor Amendment to vote of the people.

OPINION

Your inquiry is whether or not special provision must be made for an election in event the Federal Child Labor Amendment is referred to a vote of the people or whether or not the present election laws cover such cases.

At present, there is no provision of law for holding a referendum election of this character, submitting the Federal Child Labor Amendment to a vote of the people. If submitted, the Act submitting same or some other special Act would necessarily have to provide the ways and means for the election and the expenses thereof.

 You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
