Constitutional Right to Buy and Sell Natural Gas
Plain-English Summary
Initiative 177 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would establish a right for consumers to buy natural gas for cooking and heating, and for producers to sell it. Colorado lawmakers are considering legislation to define and add guardrails to this right if the initiative passes.
What each outcome does
If Initiative 177 passes, a constitutional right to buy and sell natural gas would be established in Colorado. This could potentially lead to new legislation defining the scope and safety regulations for this right.
If Initiative 177 fails, the state constitution would not be amended to include a right to buy and sell natural gas. Current state policies and regulations regarding natural gas use and sales would remain in effect.
