Under existing law, upon timely application, any person who has an interest in the matter in litigation, or in the success of either of the parties, or an interest against both, may intervene in the action or proceeding. An intervention takes place when a 3rd person is permitted to become a party to an action or proceeding between other persons, as specified. This bill would provide that the proponent, as defined, of a state initiative statute or constitutional amendment that has been approved by the voters shall have the right to intervene and participate in any court action challenging the constitutionality of that initiative statute or constitutional amendment.
