Initiative 19
Increase Accountability and Transparency in Colorado Government
Initiative 19 would ensure that all state money is allocated by the legislature. Instead of allowing the Governor or Attorney General to spend millions (or even billions) of dollars on their own, Initiative 19 would help provide necessary oversight. Whether it’s settlement money from lawsuits or federal stimulus funds, there should be a public hearing where elected officials get feedback from their constituents. Coloradans deserve an open process where there is transparency about how state funds are being spent.

Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado Constitution and a change to the Colorado Revised Statutes concerning money that the state receives, and, in connection therewith, requiring all money received by the state, including money provided to the state for a particular purpose, known as custodial money, to be subject to appropriation by the general assembly after a public hearing; repealing the authority to disburse money from the state treasury by any other means; requiring all custodial money to be deposited into the newly created custodial funds transparency fund and the earnings on those deposits to be transferred to the general fund; and allowing the state to retain and spend all custodial money and earnings and revenue on that custodial money as a voter-approved revenue change?
