Denver, Colorado – Today Secretary of State Mike Coffman confirmed that Amendments 53, 55, 56 and 57 would be withdrawn from the General Election ballot as requested by the initiatives’ proponents.

The amendments withdrawn are as follows:

• Amendment 53 – Liabilities of business entities and their executive officials – criminal liability
• Amendment 55 – Just cause for employee discharge or suspension
• Amendment 56 – Employer responsibility for health insurance
• Amendment 57 – Safe workplace

Each designated representative of the proponents was required to submit a notarized letter to the Secretary of State’s office requesting that the measure not be considered. The letters were due no later than 33 days before the General Election, which is today.

Although the ballots have already been printed, the results of the measures will not be tallied pursuant to section 1-40-134, C.R.S.
