DENVER (CBS4) - A special session of state lawmakers will likely wrap up Tuesday with no resolution to a multi-million dollar problem.

Gov. John Hickenlooper called lawmakers back to work on Monday to fix a mistake in the wording of a new law that's keeping special districts, including R-T-D and Science and Cultural Facilities, from collecting their share of marijuana sales tax revenues.

Democrats introduced two bills. One of them died in a Republican-controlled Senate committee. The other is all but certain to meet the same fate.

Republicans say the bills would cause a change in tax policy that requires voter approval.

If lawmakers can't agree on a legislative fix, special districts may end up having to pay for an election - at an estimated cost of $1 million to collect taxes voters already approved.
