Amendment 54 has been fast-tracked by the Colorado Supreme Court. This week the Court directed attorneys to submit records by next Friday, Sept. 4. Court arguments will begin in the fall.

"There's just added importance to getting the Supreme Court to weigh in and say there is or is not a problem."
