Overview: HJR 25-1023, Require General Assembly TABOR Constitutionality Lawsuit, is currently in the House Third Reading stage with no amendments.
Purpose and Intent: The resolution aims to require the Colorado General Assembly to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) amendment. The intent is to determine whether TABOR's restrictions on the state's ability to raise taxes and fees violate the Colorado Constitution.
Key Provisions:
- Directs the General Assembly to file a lawsuit against the State of Colorado to determine the constitutionality of TABOR
- Requires the lawsuit to be filed within 90 days of the resolution's effective date
- Specifies that the lawsuit must be filed in the Colorado Supreme Court
Affected Parties and Impacts: The resolution would impact the state government, as it would compel the General Assembly to take legal action against the state's own TABOR amendment. Depending on the outcome, the lawsuit could have significant implications for Colorado's fiscal policies and the state's ability to raise revenue.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The resolution is currently in the House Third Reading stage, with no amendments made. If passed, the General Assembly would have 90 days to file the required lawsuit in the Colorado Supreme Court.
