(The Center Square) – Colorado lawmakers are scheduled in the final days of the legislative session to consider a joint resolution that would require the General Assembly to sue over the state Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

The joint resolution only has until Wednesday to pass, before the General Assembly adjourns sine die. It hasn’t moved in the chamber since April 10, when it was laid over.

TABOR is the constitutional amendment passed by voters in 1992 that requires voter approval for all tax increases. The amendment also limits state revenue growth to inflation plus the rate of population growth, with the intent of controlling state spending. TABOR also requires any revenue surplus to be refunded to taxpayers.
