Statewide ballot measures

Amendment 81: Law Enforcement Reporting Requirements to Federal Authorities

YES: supports requiring state and local law enforcement to notify the U.S. Department of Homeland Security when they charge someone who is not lawfully in the U.S. (or whose status they can't determine) and who is charged with a violent crime or has a prior felony conviction

NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, putting no requirement in the constitution for law enforcement to notify Homeland Security when they charge someone in these cases

Amendment 82: Right to Purchase and Sell Natural Gas for Cooking or Heating in Homes and Businesses

YES: supports creating a constitutional right to buy natural gas for cooking or heating in homes and businesses, and for distributors and utilities to sell it to consumers

NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, keeping the buying and selling of natural gas without a constitutional guarantee, so it stays open to regulation under ordinary law

Amendment 83: Right to Hunt and Fish

YES: supports creating a constitutional right to hunt, fish, and take fish and wildlife through traditional methods, except for endangered species, nongame species, and species illegal to hunt under federal law

NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, keeping hunting and fishing without a constitutional right, so existing rules like the ban on leghold traps and baiting can't be challenged under one

Amendment 84: Require Voter Identification Number for Mail-In Ballots

YES: supports requiring mail-in voters to provide an identification number (such as the last four digits of their Social Security number or a Colorado REAL ID number) along with their signature

NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, keeping a voter’s signature as the only thing required to verify a mail-in ballot

Amendment 85: Require Plain Language and Eighth-Grade Reading Level for Ballot Measures

YES: supports requiring ballot questions to be written in plain English at no more than an eighth-grade reading level, and barring state laws from mandating ballot title language that isn’t

NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, keeping ballot questions free of any plain-language or reading-level requirement

Amendment 86: Require Commission and Supreme Court Approval for Mid-Decade Congressional Redistricting

YES: supports requiring any mid-decade congressional redistricting plan to be approved by both the independent redistricting commission and the Colorado Supreme Court, and prohibiting maps drawn on purpose to favor one party

NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, keeping mid-decade redistricting without these added approvals or the ban on maps drawn to favor one party

Amendment 87: Establish Graduated Income Tax and Dedicate New Revenue to Education, Healthcare, and Childcare

YES: supports replacing Colorado’s flat 4.4% income tax with a graduated income tax (3.7% to 8.4%) and sending the new revenue to K-12 education, health care, and early child care

NO: opposes this constitutional amendment, keeping the flat 4.4% income tax rate that all Coloradans pay regardless of income

Proposition 132: Penalties for Fentanyl Sale and Possession

YES: supports tougher, mandatory penalties for making, selling, or possessing fentanyl (including less than a gram), required court-ordered treatment for the lowest-level possession felonies, and counting drug possession convictions toward "habitual criminal" status

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping current law, where possessing less than a gram of fentanyl is a misdemeanor, treatment for the lowest-level possession felonies is optional, and some possession convictions don't count toward "habitual criminal" status

Proposition 133: Require Life in Prison for Human Trafficking of Minors

YES: supports requiring life in prison without parole for anyone convicted of trafficking a child for sexual servitude

NO: opposes this measure, keeping the crime a class 2 felony carrying eight to 24 years

Proposition 134: Sex Requirement for School and College Sports

YES: supports requiring K-12 and college athletes to play on the men’s or women’s team that matches their sex, as defined by biological reproductive systems

NO: opposes this initiative, leaving which team student athletes can play on to current rules

Proposition 135: Prohibit Surgeries for Treatment in Response to Minors' Perception of Sex or Gender

YES: supports barring health care providers from performing surgeries that alter biological sex characteristics on anyone under 18, and blocking state or federal money, Medicaid, and insurance from paying for them

NO: opposes this initiative, leaving these surgeries and how they are paid for under current law

Proposition 136: Establish 4.4% Cap on Individual and Corporate Income Tax Rates

YES: supports writing a permanent 4.4% cap on individual and corporate income tax rates into the state constitution, so future legislatures (or voters) couldn’t raise them

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping today’s 4.4% rate without a constitutional cap, so it could be raised in the future

Proposition 137: Retain Sporting Goods Sales Tax Revenue for Conservation and Wildfire Prevention Fund

YES: supports letting the state keep excess sales tax revenue from sporting goods and equipment and spend it on water, land, forest, wildfire prevention, and outdoor recreation

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping the requirement that the state refund that excess revenue

Proposition NN: TABOR Revenue Cap Increase for K-12 Education

YES: supports raising the TABOR revenue cap and sending the surplus (roughly $4.6 billion) to K-12 education, including teacher pay, smaller class sizes, and workforce preparation

NO: opposes this measure, keeping the current TABOR cap and refunding revenue above it to taxpayers
