HCR 22-1001
signedStatutory Initiative Petition Signature Requirements
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHouse Concurrent Resolution 22-1001 would require that any petition for a citizen-initiated statutory change gather signatures from at least 2% of registered voters in each state senate district before being placed on the ballot. This means that if voters approve this resolution, future attempts to change laws through petitions will need to meet stricter signature requirements similar to those already required for constitutional amendments. The bill has been signed and is now awaiting voter approval in the November 2022 general election.
Official Summary
The Colorado constitution currently requires any petition for a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment to be signed by at least 2% of the registered electors who reside in each state senate district for the change to be placed on the ballot. If approved by the voters at the November 2022 general election, the concurrent resolution would extend this requirement to a citizen-initiated statutory change.
