Proposition 101, entitled "Colorado Motor Vehicle, Income, and Telecom Taxes," will appear on the November ballot. It is an initiated state statute, which the Web site ballotpedia.org says "is a new law that a state adopts via the ballot initiative process. The most common form of initiated state statute is when groups collect signatures and once those signatures are collected, election officials place the measure on the ballot for a vote."
Twenty-two states allow initiated state statutes, of which Colorado is one.
