Colorado HB1320 mandates ballot titles for initiatives to be written in accessible language and specifies required language for tax changes.

Colorado HB1320 modifies statutory requirements for ballot title language, emphasizing the use of accessible language. The bill requires the title board to set ballot titles that are brief, written in plain language understood by the widest possible audience, and do not conflict with other titles for the same election. For initiatives that reduce state or local district property tax revenue through a tax change, the ballot title must include specific language. For initiatives that increase tax revenue and specify the public services to be funded, the title must also include certain language.
