Questão jurídica principal
Whether the popular initiative IN 147 satisfied the unity-of-subject-matter requirement
Decisão extraída
No. The initiative bundled heterogeneous measures across housing, construction, rent control, subsidies, expropriation, procedure, and energy policy without a sufficiently intrinsic connection.
Fundamentação extraída
The initiative was a drafted bill with 20 articles and many distinct measures. A general goal of protecting the rental housing stock was too broad to justify such a wide range of unrelated means. The measures did not form a coherent whole and would force voters into an all-or-nothing choice.
