DOMENICO Solicitor General Counsel of Record MICHAEL F RANCISCO FREDERICK YARGER Assistant Solicitors General MEGAN PARIS RUNDLET Senior Assistant Attorney General Office of the Colorado Attorney General 1300 Broadway Denver, Colorado 80203 [email protected] 720-508-6559 Counsel for Petitioner Becker Gallagher · Cincinnati, OH · Washington, D.C. · 800.890.5001 i QUESTIONS PRESENTED In 1992, the People of Colorado enacted the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights (TABOR), which amended the state constitution to allow voters to approve or reject any tax increases. In 2011, a group of plaintiffs, including a small minority of state legislators, brought a federal suit claiming that TABOR causes Colorado’s government to no longer be republican in form, an alleged violation of the Guarantee Clause, Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution. The court of appeals held that the political question doctrine does not bar federal courts from resolving this kind of dispute and that the Legislator-Plaintiffs have standing to redress the alleged diminution of their legislative power. The questions presented are as follows: 1. Whether, after this Court’s decision in New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 (1992), Plaintiffs’ claims that Colorado’s government is not republican in form remain non-justiciable political questions.

  • LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP Colorado’S 2012 Legislative Session: the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence Achieves Its Policy Priorities
    LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP Colorado’s 2012 Legislative Session: The Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence Achieves Its Policy Priorities Colorado’s 69th General Assembly wrapped up the 2012 legislative session May 9th; then, they found themselves ordered into a special session by Governor Hickenlooper to finish their busi- ness in a more democratic manner because House leadership had allowed the clock run out on the Civil Unions Bill and some 30 other bills caught up in line behind it. One of the bills which the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence invested a significant amount of time and energy on, the School Discipline Bill (Senate Bill 46), nearly failed along with the Civil Unions legislation, but was rescued during the special session by being added onto another related bill. The School Discipline Bill is one of many successful policy efforts, which CCADV accom- plished on behalf of our members and survivors this year. Other 2012 legislative priorities for the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence include Senate Bill 56, which we contributed several provisions to and provided input on other provisions which Senator Morgan Carroll brought forward. Senate Bill 56 addresses aspects of various court appointed roles in domestic relations cases and requires persons in those roles to make disclosures if they have any per- sonal, financial, or familial relationships that would create a conflict of interest with regard to the parties in the case to which they were appointed or with the court. Both of these senate bills passed and have been signed into law by the Governor! CCADV also worked diligently to support, oppose, and amend dozens of other pieces of legisla- tion this past session.

  • AMENDMENT V Reduced Age Qualification for General Assembly Members
    AMENDMENT V Reduced Age Qualification for General Assembly Members Summary This amendment would lower the minimum age to serve in the Colorado General Assembly as a representative or senator from 25 to 21. Research Colorado’s age requirement to serve in the general assembly is one of the highest, ranking with only Utah and Arizona. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, “the average age of a Colorado legislator in 2015 was 55, a decade older than the state’s average age.” In 43 states, the minimum age requirement for state representatives is set at either 18 or 21. About half of states have a minimum age between 25 and 30 for state senators, while the other half have a requirement of either 18 or 21. Every year, the number of young Coloradans (21-25) is steadily increasing, and is projected to keep increasing for the next 20 years. That said, only 3 percent of Colorado’s legislators are millennials, despite making up 32 percent of the state. Comparatively, baby boomers comprise 61 percent of legislators in Colorado, where they make up only 29 percent of the population. Referendum L, a similar amendment, failed 46.5 percent to 53.5 percent in 2008. Arguments For • Not allowing 21- to 24-year-olds to be elected to the General Assembly is a random qualification that has no tangible effect on Colorado politics. A 21-year-old is widely considered an adult, both under the law and according to popular opinion; they can serve our country, vote, drink, and make thoughtful decisions as any adult can.

What a roller coaster! A controversial late amendment with additional funding for charter schools prompted some flashes of anger by fellow Senators, which in turn led to the bill previously approved by the Senate Finance Committee being stripped back to its near-original language. After all that, the legislation now has one more procedural vote before moving to the House. More details below.
