Supreme Court of Colorado

Coloradans for a Better Future, Petitioner v. Campaign Integrity Watchdog, Respondent

January 29, 2018409 P.3d 350

Summary

The court held that uncompensated legal services provided to a political organization were not reportable contributions under Colorado campaign-finance law. It concluded that the constitutional definition did not apply to political organizations, that the statutory provision for undercompensated services applied only to candidate committees, and that a statutory reference to a gift meant a monetary gift rather than donated services. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
