CO HB1424

Reverts the deadline for filing initiative petitions with the Secretary of State to a deadline set by the State Constitution, replacing the specific "3 months and 3 weeks" standard established by House Bill 09-1326.

Modifies statutes 1-40-107(5), 1-40-108(1), and 1-40-117(3)(b) to reference constitutional deadlines rather than the explicit 3-month-and-3-week timeframe.

Requires all petition filings to be submitted by 3 p.m. on the day of filing.

Applies the same constitutional deadline requirements to petitions for ballot issues in November odd-numbered year elections.

Includes a safety clause declaring the act necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, and safety.
