Proposition NN: Keep and Spend Money for Education and Other Purposes
Proposition NN on Colorado's November 3, 2026 ballot (a statewide measure). Passes with a majority of votes cast. Plain-language summary of what YES and NO mean, with sources.
Would let the state keep and spend revenue that TABOR would otherwise require it to refund, up to a new limit tied to state spending on public education. For the first ten years, the retained money must go to K-12 education and programs that support children; after that, to K-12 education and other purposes the legislature sets. The state auditor and school districts would report on spending. A YES vote: The state may keep some or all revenue that TABOR would otherwise refund, and must spend it on K-12 education, children's programs, and other purposes. A NO vote: Current TABOR refunds and current funding levels for K-12 education, children's programs, and other purposes continue. It passes with a majority of votes cast.
