Note:  Representative Carroll was the sponsor of House Concurrent Resolution 1007 (HCR04-1007), a PVA-supported resolution, which would have submitted to the voters of Colorado the question of whether to require a three-year waiting period, with specified exceptions, before the General Assembly could change or repeal a voter-enacted statute or refer to voters a proposed change to (or repeal of) a voter-enacted statute or constitutional amendment.  The exceptions are that the legislature would be permitted to repeal, amend, or otherwise modify an initiated statute or refer a measure to repeal, amend, or otherwise modify an initiated state statute within the three-year period if at least 38 representatives and 23 senators vote to do so.  HCR04-1007 was killed by the House State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee.
