01:54 PM -- SCR16-001

Senator Steadman presented Senate Concurrent Resolution 16-001 to the committee. The resolution refers a ballot question to voters in the November 2016 election that, if passed, would repeal several provisions in the Colorado Constitution deemed obsolete as a result of being found unconstitutional by the courts. The bill includes the repeal of:

• the "previous participation requirement" related to recall elections in Article XXI;

• language in Article XXVIII that prohibits expenditures that expressly advocate for the election of a candidate and that prohibits corporations or labor unions from providing funding for electioneering communication;

• four definitions that appear in Section 2 of Article XXVIII;

• Sections 15, 16, and 17 of Article XXVIII, which deal with sole source government contracts;

• Section 30b of Article II, which prohibits the state from establishing protected status based on homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual orientation; and

• Section 31 of Article II, which states that only a marriage between one man and one woman is recognized as valid by the state.
