With the recent off-year election in the rear view, eyes are now turning to the 2026 cycle. And in Colorado, that means sorting citizen-initiated measures that make the ballot next year.

Join Brownstein’s David Meschke and Sarah Mercer as they walk through the constitutional and statutory framework and timeline governing statewide citizen initiatives and offer insights into recent trends, legal challenges and strategic considerations for drafting, advocating for or opposing ballot questions. They also cover key differences and considerations for county and municipal ballot measures, which play an increasingly important role in local governance.

Policy debates over Colorado's comprehensive AI law have played out like an epic over the last two years—with working groups, competing proposals, volleying amendments, and now, SB 26-189, a much narrower replacement for the first-of-its-kind AI consumer protection passed in 2024.
