In re Title

Original Proceeding Pursuant to Section 1-40-107(2), 1B C.R.S. (1995 Supp.) EN BANC Per Curiam The petitioners, Frederick W. Jones, Derrick Pickeral, Nancy L. Reubert, James Scott, and Lori R. Williams (the Jones petitioners), and James L. Brandon, are registered electors of Colorado who bring this original proceeding pursuant to section 1-40-107(2), 1B C.R.S. (1995 Supp.), to review the action taken by the initiative title setting board (the Board) in fixing a title, ballot title and submission clause, and summary (titles and summary) for a proposed statutory amendment designated ""1996-17"" (the Initiative). We hold that while the Initiative does not violate the single-subject requirement applicable to initiatives under article V, section 1(5.5), of the Colorado Constitution, the titles and summary do not fairly express the intent and meaning of the initiative, and the fiscal impact statement is inaccurate. We therefore reverse the action of the Board. I.
