HCR 26-1006
signedGovernor Proclamation Respect Separation of Powers
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHCR 26-1006 is a bill in Colorado that aims to change the state constitution to prevent governors from using proclamations to narrowly direct what laws or actions the legislature should take. This would ensure that when a governor calls for specific business, it can't be framed in such a way as to force a particular outcome on the General Assembly. The bill needs at least 55% of voters to approve it in the 2026 general election before it becomes part of the constitution. Currently, the bill has been signed and is assigned to a committee for further review.
Official Summary
If approved by at least 55% of the voters of the state voting on the issue at the 2026 general election, the concurrent resolution amends the Colorado constitution to require, when a governor convenes the general assembly by proclamation, that the business specially named in the proclamation must not be so narrowly framed as to impose a particular outcome on the general assembly.(Note: This summary applies to this concurrent resolution as introduced.)
