Applies after formal charges, before a finding of guilt. A prior felony triggers review even for a new traffic or petty offense. Reporting before conviction risks due-process violations and deportation of innocent or lawfully present people. Undefined terms and officer discretion could produce unequal enforcement and discourage crime reporting and cooperation. Ice is already violating citizen's constitutional rights, I don't want to make that easier for them.

The PUC regulates investor-owned utilities' rates, safety, and clean-heat plans. State agencies regulate emissions; local governments regulate installations and building codes. The new rights may limit enforcement of existing or future restrictions. Constitutional protection could impede cleaner energy, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution and limit local decisions about health and climate priorities.

Provide the last four digits of a Social Security number or Real ID-compliant Colorado license/ID number. Missing or unmatched information must be corrected within eight days after Election Day or the ballot is uncounted. Passport, military, or tribal photo ID may be used to correct it; qualifying elderly/disabled voters have broader options. In-person ID rules do not change. Existing verification works, the numbers tell a different story than the persistent claims. A national investigation identified 513 proven voter fraud cases in the past 10 years, which represents a very small fraction of more than 685 million votes cast during that period of time. The Heritage Foundation reports 1,176 proven instances of voter fraud in the past 26 years (since 2000). If 685 million votes were cast from 2016-2026, then at least a billion votes have been cast in the past 26 years. This measure could result in many errors, sensitive-data concerns, and ID barriers that could discourage voting or invalidate eligible ballots without meaningful security gains. Will cost the state up to $2.5 million initially and $1.2 million in later years.

Current law already requires brief, understandable titles. The measure does not designate who determines compliance or provide a testing method. The prohibition on conflicting wording laws applies to citizen initiatives, not legislative referrals, and may affect required tax/funding disclosures. Existing rules suffice and the undefined standard invites challenges. Eliminating required wording could remove important explanations of taxes, program funding, or other effects.

Regular redistricting follows each census; the next commission is scheduled for 2031. Current law has no specific off-cycle process. Creates an unnecessary barrier if voters want new districts because of changing priorities or other states' partisan maps. The same commission should not control reconsideration of its earlier maps. Will cost the state about $370,000.

Remove the constitutional flat-tax requirement and establish graduated individual/business income-tax rates. Dedicate added revenue to K–12 education, health care, and early childhood care/education, outside TABOR limits. Starts in 2027. Marginal rates: 3.7% to $25,000; 4.2% from $25,001–$100,000; 4.4% from $100,001–$500,000; 7.4% from $500,001–$750,000; 7.9% from $750,001–$1 million; 8.4% above $1 million. Each applies only within its bracket; brackets are not inflation-adjusted. Added spending must supplement existing funding, with an audited annual report. Supporters say roughly 97% of taxpayers would pay less while top earners contribute more according to ability to pay. Revenue supports underfunded schools, health care, and child care, using a model already employed federally and in many states.

Make possession of any fentanyl amount a felony and require 8–32 years in prison for distribution of any amount. Remove specified sentencing reductions and mitigating-factor options. Prison threats may deter overdose calls and treatment without reducing use or deaths. Trace-amount distributors face major-trafficker penalties, diverting funds from treatment into an overcrowded prison system. I would be for this position, if it were only for Fentanyl sale and for possession of a large amount. This states for possession of any amount, which just feeds the prison pipeline. General Fund costs: about $0.9 million in year one, $8.9 million in year two, and $68.2 million by year five. Additional prison capacity may be needed. Fine revenue rises about $23,000 initially and $73,000 in later years.

This one seemed like an automatic yes until I read more into it. Changes the offense from a class 2 to class 1 felony and removes sentencing discretion. Applies to buyers and sellers. Minors cannot legally consent to commercial sexual activity. Existing law provides defenses/protections for charged people who are themselves trafficking victims. Mandatory life sentences may deter victims coerced into crimes from reporting or cooperating, eliminate consideration of case circumstances, and shift funds away from prevention without stopping trafficking. I would rather our state put more resources behind stopping trafficking than automatically punishing trafficking victims. The current law allows for sentencing discretion, meaning the judge could sentence offenders to life.

I agree that minors should wait until adulthood for irreversible procedures, use less-invasive alternatives, and have more long-term evidence about risks, benefits, and possible regret. However, I cannot get on board with this proposition since the broad wording and narrow exceptions could interfere with necessary medical/cosmetic care for many minors. Decisions should remain with families and clinicians; delays and uncertainty may harm mental health and narrow insurance coverage. Additionally, such surgeries are rare; Colorado's three large pediatric providers report not performing them on transgender patients under 18.

Does not change today's rate or the process for changing rates. Lawmakers or initiatives may lower rates; increases already require voter approval. Amendment 87 proposes higher rates above $500,000. If both pass, more votes generally control conflicting provisions, but the precise outcome remains unclear and may require legislative or court resolution. Targets Amendment 87, invites confusion and costly litigation, and adds little because future voter-approved increases could override it.
