On May 5, the Colorado Senate passed a bill establishing criteria that would require certain groups supporting or opposing ballot initiatives to register as issue committees. SB237 would limit the amount of money nonprofits can spend on ballot measures before they are considered issue committees and become subject to donor disclosure requirements. The Colorado House of Representatives passed the bill on May 10.
Colorado has a Democratic trifecta, which means the Democratic Party controls the office of governor and both chambers of the state legislature. Democrats have a 20-15 majority in the Senate and a 41-24 majority in the House.
