What to expect from Colorado's special session on property taxes

Some legislators are likely to push for more than a dozen bills that aren’t part of the compromise.

Political pressures are mounting as lawmakers convene into a special session.

The November 2023 session lasted four days , in part because of a technical glitch.

Last November ’s special session was also marred by disruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters.

A coalition of 45 groups, ranging from K-12 and higher education advocates to real-estate agents and homebuilders, wrote to the property tax commission to express support for a special session and a compromise to codify a deal.

At least another dozen bills are also being crafted for next week that aren't part of the deal.

Sources say some of those measures could put the deal in jeopardy.

The Bell Policy Center estimated the budget stabilization factor — that $1 billion debt — would return with the passage of Proposition 50 .

The group also questioned whether the state could come up with $3 billion in cuts that would result from Proposition 108 .

The proponents of Propositions 108 and 50 and their allies have long argued that the legislature's actions have been inadequate.
