Supreme Court of Colorado

Christopher Fine v. Steven Ward and Levi Mendyk, In the Matter of the Titles, Ballot Titles, and Submission Clauses…

June 27, 20222022 CO 37

Summary

The court held that three proposed alcohol-regulation initiatives violated Colorado's constitutional single-subject requirement because each combined authorizing grocery and other beer retailers to sell wine with authorizing third-party delivery of alcohol to consumers' homes. Because the initiatives contained multiple subjects that were not necessarily or properly connected, the Title Board lacked jurisdiction to set titles for them, and the court reversed the Board's actions.
