Bill 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 prohibit a person from being a state representative or senator for a term of office that immediately follows a term for which the person was appointed to fill a vacancy in the general assembly for that office.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution, if approved by at least 55% of Colorado voters in the 2026 general election, would amend the state constitution to prevent someone from being elected as a state representative or senator for a full term if that term immediately follows a period where they were appointed to fill a vacancy in that same legislative office. This means that if a legislator is appointed to finish out an unexpired term, they cannot then run for and win the next full term for that same seat. The resolution outlines the process for submitting this proposed amendment to voters and the required threshold for its approval.
