SUBMITTING TO THE REGISTERED ELECTORS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO AN AMENDMENT TO THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION REMOVING THE BAN ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution, titled "Protecting the Freedom to Marry," directs the Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the Colorado Constitution to registered voters on November 5, 2024, asking them to vote "Yes/For" or "No/Against" on removing the current ban on same-sex marriage. If a majority of voters approve the amendment, it will become part of the state constitution, effectively repealing the existing provision that states only a union of one man and one woman is valid or recognized as a marriage in Colorado. This process is a way for citizens to directly vote on changing the state's foundational laws.
