From Ballotpedia
The Colorado Referendum M appeared on the November 2008 ballot in Colorado as an legislatively-referred constitutional amendment, where it was approved. The measure amended the Colorado Constitution to eliminate obsolete constitutional provisions regarding land value increases. It was referred to the ballot via House Concurrent Resolution 08-1009.
It removed an outdated provision from 1876 in Colorado's constitution, when the constitution was adopted. That provision dealt with giving tax breaks to landowners who plant trees on their land, and is no longer in use. In essence, Measure M was a housekeeping measure.[1]
