The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol had disputed Dunlap s rejection of 26,779 signatures because the signature of the notary didn t match the signature on file in Augusta. A judge reversed his decision, saying the requirement of identical signatures was unreasonable.
Dunlap said the new review will be conducted as expeditiously as possible. He said a new determination will be made pursuant to the court order.
