Colorado: Election Bill looks to make changes to recall law

A Colorado Election Bill sponsored by the majority Democrats in the Senate has several sections dealing with the recall. Among the provisions are requiring circulators to wear a badge that distinguishes between volunteers and paid circulators. The bill also would require that petitioners make no false statements (changing the current language from may not include to shall. )It also would explicitly state that a recall vote that ends in a tie would lead to the official retaining the office (which I assumed was the case and is the case elsewhere). 

Currently, there is a third ongoing attempt to recall Governor Jared Polis (D).
