In the Matter of the Title, Ballot Title and Submission Clause for 2019-2020 #3 Carol Hedges and Steve Briggs…

Summary

The court held that Initiative #3, which asks voters whether to repeal TABOR in its entirety, satisfies Colorado's single-subject requirement because it presents one general objective and contains no incongruous, hidden, or disconnected subjects. The court reversed the Title Board's refusal to set a title and returned the initiative for title setting. The court also disapproved prior decisions to the extent they suggested that a complete repeal of a multi-subject constitutional provision necessarily contains multiple subjects.
