Amendment Concerning GOCO funds Dies in Committee Today

HJR 10-1007 died today in the House Education Committee. HJR 10-1007 concerns an amendment to ArticleXXVII of the Constitution (the Great Outdoors Colorado Amendment).The language of the amendment would have allowed the general assembly to declare a state fiscal emergency, where all net Lottery proceeds would then be transferred to the State Education Fund. This piece of legislation would have had a major negative impact on GOCO and grants it provides to local governments.
