Medidas sometidas a votación a nivel estatal
La Proposición LL pregunta si se debe permitir al estado conservar y gastar los ingresos recaudados con la Proposición FF. La Proposición FF estableció el Programa de Comidas Escolares Saludables para Todos y ha acumulado $12.4 millones en ingresos desde su aprobación inicial por los votantes en 2022. El Programa de Comidas Escolares Saludables para Todos se financia con impuestos estatales sobre la renta y apoya la alimentación escolar gratuita para todos los estudiantes, independientemente de sus ingresos familiares. Debido a la Declaración de Derechos del Contribuyente, el estado de Colorado debe solicitar aprobación para conservar y gastar los ingresos fiscales ya recaudados. Si los votantes no aprueban la LL, se reembolsará el impuesto estatal sobre la renta a los hogares que lo pagaron. Con los fondos adicionales de la Propuesta LL, el Programa de Comidas Escolares Saludables para Todos podría impulsar la compra y el uso de productos cultivados en Colorado, aumentar los salarios de los empleados de las cafeterías y ofrecer capacitación y asistencia técnica a las escuelas.

Denver City Ballot Measures
Referendum 310 aims to amend the municipal code of the City of Denver to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products. The bill defines "flavored" as a cooling or numbing sensation, taste, or smell that is different than that typical of tobacco. The ban will not apply to hookah or cigars. A violation of this would result in a non-criminal violation wherein a public health and environment manager for the City and County of Denver will assess just penalties.

Referred Question 2F would amend the names and organization of select city and county offices and departments. These changes include; "Department of Excise and Licenses" to "Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection"; "Director of Excise and Licenses" to "Manager of Licensing and Consumer Protection"; and adding the ladder position to the Mayor's cabinet. This department and it's manager exist to protect public interest through the administration of business and professional licenses. The passing of this question will improve Denver's organizational structure, and will better reflect modern licensing law.
