AI Summary

This bill aims to promote increased transparency of funds used in ballot measure campaigns in Colorado. The key provisions are: 1. It defines "direct ballot issue or ballot question expenditure" as direct spending in support of or opposition to any single ballot issue or ballot question by a person who does not otherwise meet the requirements of an issue committee, excluding contributions to an issue committee. 2. It requires any person who expends $5,000 or more in aggregate in a calendar year on direct ballot issue or ballot question expenditures to report additional expenditures of $1,000 or more to the Secretary of State within 48 hours, including the amount, purpose, date, payee, and the ballot question or issue supported or opposed. 3. It mandates that any person who makes a direct ballot issue or ballot question expenditure must state their name in any related communication that is broadcast, printed, mailed, delivered, or placed online. 4. It appropriates $30,000 to the Department of State for information technology personal services and $14,309 for 0.3 FTE in the election division to implement the act. The bill aims to provide more transparency around spending on ballot measures in Colorado.
