Supreme Court of Colorado
In the Matter of the Title, Ballot Title and Submission Clause for 2015-2016 #156 John Grayson Robinson, Petitioner…
July 5, 2016413 P.3d 151
Summary
The court held that Initiative #156's title violated Colorado's clear-title requirement because its circular and illogical wording would confuse voters about the initiative's actual effect. The court reversed the Title Board's setting of the title and returned the initiative to the Board, declining to reach the separate single-subject challenge. Justice Hood, joined by Justice Coats, dissented, concluding that the title adequately conveyed the initiative's purpose and effect.
