Coloradans can expect another TABOR windfall. How much depends on voters in November

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:02:07 GMT

Colorado economic forecasters predict another tax refund windfall next spring — though how Coloradans receive the excess collections depends on how they vote this November.Forecasters for both the legislative and executive branches expect tax collections subject to Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, caps to exceed $3.3 billion. That would be near the prior year’s record that lawmakers refunded through direct checks last fall. Following year forecasts still show excess collections, though not nearly as eye-popping.The excess collections will surely become a point of leverage in a looming ballot box battle over state tax policy. Voters will decide this November on Proposition HH, a multi-faceted proposal aimed to blunt the sharpest edges of rising property taxes while also allowing the state to keep more tax dollars than currently allowed under TABOR.Opponents are arguing its passage would lead to a long-term vacuuming of tax dollars that would otherwise be returne...

Colorado Supreme Court strikes down law that gave victims of decades-old childhood sexual abuse a window to file lawsuits

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:02:07 GMT

The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down a new law that created a three-year window for people to sue over decades-old childhood sexual abuse on the grounds that the law violated the state constitution.The Child Sexual Abuse Accountability Act violated the constitution’s prohibition on retrospective legislation, the justices ruled in a unanimous opinion Tuesday. The decision likely will end the recent influx of look-back lawsuits that survivors of childhood sexual abuse brought in the 18 months since the new law took effect.The law, which took effect Jan. 1, 2022, allowed for adults who were sexually assaulted as children to bring lawsuits against both their assailant and, in some cases, organizations that ran youth programs.The law opened a three-year window for such lawsuits for abuse that allegedly happened between 1960 and 2022, including claims that otherwise would have been barred by the statute of limitations.But the Colorado Supreme Court found Tuesday that th...
