The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday ended more than six years of challenges to the state s hospital provider fee, denying plaintiffs one last chance to challenge the fee s constitutionality.
The Court issued a denial of writ of certiorari, a legal term that means they won t hear the case.Â
The lawsuit, originally filed in 2015, was brought by the TABOR Foundation, led by former lawmaker Penn Pfiffner, and which claimed the hospital provider fee was a tax, subject to voter approval from the Taxpayer s Bill of Rights. It also challenged the law based on the Constitution s single-subject rule, which requires that bills follow the titles.Â
