Colorado legislature refers constitutional amendment concerning bail rights to the November ballot

The Colorado State Legislature passed a constitutional amendment that would remove the right of bail in cases of first-degree murder when the proof is evident or the presumption is great.

The measure will be on the Nov. general election ballot. A 55% vote is needed for it to be approved.

To put the constitutional amendment before voters, a two-thirds vote was required in the Colorado State Senate and the Colorado House of Representatives.
