History

Initiated 2008: Entire section added, effective December 31, 2008, see L. 2009, p. 3380. | Editor's note: This section was declared unconstitutional (see the editor's note following this section). Editor's note: (1) In 2008, Amendment 54 amended § 13 of this article creating an exception to the effective date stating that the provisions of this article amended or added by Amendment 54 concerning sole source government contracts are effective December 31, 2008; however the Governor's proclamation date on Amendment 54 was January 8, 2009. (2) In the case of Dallman v. Ritter, the Denver District Court declared the provisions of this section unconstitutional and issued a preliminary injunction enjoining the enforcement of Amendment 54 (see Dallman v. Ritter, 225 P. 3d 610 (Colo. 2010)). The Colorado Supreme Court affirmed the district court's ruling (see Dallman v. Ritter, 225 P. 3d 610 (Colo. 2010)). (3) This section did not contain a headnote as it appeared on the ballot.
