The Denver Post: In the 2024 election, Colorado voters passed a conservative-backed ballot measure that directed cash-strapped lawmakers to find $350 million for police training.

Should a similar proposal come before voters again, state lawmakers want the public to know the budget impact the ballot measure would have.

The Colorado House passed a bill Friday that would require more information to be included in the ballot language of some voter initiatives. If they direct the state to spend money without providing a source, they’d have to either identify which existing programs would be cut to pay for it — or list the large pots of state money that may be affected, like Medicaid or school funding.
