       the state of Colorado, concerning the transfer of all available
       net proceeds of every state-supervised lottery game operated
       under the authority of section 2 of article XVIII of said
       constitution to the state education fund created in section 17
       (4) of article IX of said constitution if the general assembly
       declares a state fiscal emergency?"

       have voted "Yes", the said amendment shall become a part of the state
       constitution.
