HB24-1349 refers a ballot measure to the November 2024 statewide election asking Colorado voters to approve an excise tax of 6.5% on the gross taxable retail sales of firearm dealers, firearms manufacturers, and ammunition vendors for all firearms, firearm precursor parts, and ammunition sold in the state. If approved, the collected revenue will fund crime victims’ services and prevention, mental health services for veterans and at-risk youth, school safety and gun violence prevention.
