Editor's note: In In re Interrogatories on Senate Bill 21-247, 2021 CO 37, 488 P. 3d 1008, the Colorado Supreme Court concluded that the provisions of SB 21-247 that sought to direct the operation of the redistricting commissions and their nonpartisan staffs would violate sections 44 to 44. 6 and sections 46 to 48. 4 of this article if enacted. In addition, the provision of SB 21-247 that sought to define the standard that courts should apply to determine compliance with Amendments Y and Z would violate article III and article VI, section 1, of the Colorado Constitution if enacted.
