It had concerned publication of legal advertising related to ballot measures. The article was added in 1918 to require that proposed constitutional amendments and initiated and referred bills “be published in two issues of two newspapers of opposite political faith in each county in the state.” As those terms indicate, the article was modeled on the tradition of newspapers identified with political parties and the existence of an abundance of local papers. As those customs disappeared, the article needed revision. Instead, the 1994 amendment repealed the article and transferred its function to new Article V, Section 1(7.3), which requires the general assembly’s research staff to publish proposed ballot measures in legal newspapers.","PeriodicalId":364814,"journal":{"name":"The Colorado State Constitution","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123512944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
