AI Summary

HB24-1026 Summary

  • Requires local governments retaining revenue above TABOR limits through voter-approved "waiver elections" held before November 9, 2020, to resubmit those ballot measures for voter re-approval by November 2029.

  • Applies only to historic waiver elections approved prior to November 9, 2020; excludes more recent voter approvals from the reauthorization requirement.

  • If voters reject the resubmitted ballot issue in November 2029, the original waiver election approval expires on the first day of the local government's next fiscal year.

  • Establishes that generational tax equity concerns justify requiring current voter approval of tax policies originally approved by past voters, preventing indefinite binding of future taxpayers.

  • Takes effect 90 days after final adjournment of the general assembly, unless subject to referendum petition and referred to voters at the November 2024 general election.
