1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hood
T1 In this original proceeding, we review the Title Board's action setting the title and ballot title and submission clause for Proposed Initiative 2015-2016 #68 ("Initiative #63").1 Initiative # 68 seeks to amend article II of the Colorado Constitution to establish a "right to a healthy environment." We conclude that Initiative # 63 contains a single subject-the creation of a right to a healthy environment-and that the title of the initiative clgearly expresses that subject and is not misleading. We therefore affirm the action of the Title Board.
