1-minute guide: Amendment 82 on Colorado's ballot

Colorado voters will decide whether to make access to natural gas a constitutional right in this election. Why it matters: Amendment 82 would protect Coloradans' ability to buy natural gas for cooking and heating, potentially limiting future state and local restrictions. Context: Conservative group Advance Colorado, which backs the measure, argues it's needed to combat statewide policies aimed at reducing overall natural gas use to meet its climate goals. If passed, the measure may restrict future regulations on natural gas by state or local government, per the nonpartisan blue book. The other side: Opponents argue that protecting natural gas in the state constitution would undermine efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and curb air pollution.
