BILL SUMMARY
Amends the Constitution.

BILL HISTORY
In that UCSU is facing the dilemma of needing monies for projects that will
benefit all students such as the space addition project for the UMC
and so forth, and in that such projects will result in increases in
excess of one percent, and in that Article XIII.D. prohibits such
increases without twenty-five percent of the eligible voters, and in that
UCSU has not realized this number of voters in an election in several
years, this bill seeks to place an amendment referendum on the Spring
1983 elections with the intent of rectifying this funding problem.
BE IT ENACTED by the Executive Council of the University of Colorado Student
Union, THAT:
SECTION 1:

Article XIII.O. of the UCSU Constitution shall be amended to
read:
"No single referendum or constitutional amendment shall approve
a change in the total student fees of more than a five
percent increase, nor commit the University of Colorado
Student Union and/or its individual students to any financial
obligation for longer than four fiscal years, nor cause a change
in the total student fee package that would result in more
than a one percent decrease, without receiving both a favorable
majority vote and at least twenty-five percent of the students
eligible to vote at the time of teh election in favor of the
change. This shall not limit the authority of the Executive
Council or the Joint Boards as set forth elsewhere in t his
Constitution.
YES

SECTION 4:

NO

Upon passage this amendment shall be place upon the Spring 1983
