Colorado SCR001 proposes amending the state constitution to allow local laws to preempt state laws in certain areas.
Colorado SCR001 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to allow local laws to preempt state laws in areas such as permitting, zoning, land use, and siting decisions. If at least 55% of voters approve the amendment, local ordinances would supersede conflicting state laws in these areas. The amendment would affect decisions on construction, development, land access, utilities, mineral resources, natural hazards, historical sites, and more. The amendment was put to a vote in the 2026 election but failed.
