State ex rel. Citizens for Community Values, Inc. v. DeWine
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court dismissed as moot this original action for writ of mandamus to compel Respondents to disregard Am.Sub.S.D. No. 120 (S.B. 120), holding that Relators no longer have a legally cognizable interest in the outcome of this case and that intervening legislation has rendered this cause moot.
S.B. 120 amended the 2020-2021 biennial budget bill to appropriate $10 million to fund scholarships under the Ohio Educational Choice Scholarship Program (EdChoice) for first-time eligible applicants. Relators brought this action seeking to compel Respondents to disregard S.B. 120 and administer the EdChoice program under the law as it existed prior to S.B. 120's passage. The Supreme Court dismissed the action, holding that the passage of time and intervening legislation have rendered this action moot.
