Affirm Commitment to the Taxpayer Bill of Rights
This bill reaffirms the principles of Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR), a 1992 constitutional amendment that requires voter approval for tax increases, debt, and spending growth beyond inflation and population limits. It emphasizes the need for clear ballot information and transparency so voters can make informed decisions about fiscal measures. The legislation also highlights TABOR's role in limiting unfunded mandates and protecting taxpayers from excessive government spending. By restating these existing constitutional protections, the bill aims to ensure that future government actions adhere to the original intent of taxpayer consent and fiscal accountability.
