If a party questions the constitutionality of any Colorado statute in an appellate proceeding in which the state, its agency, officer, or employee is not a party in an official capacity, the questioning party must notify the clerk of the supreme court in writing immediately upon the filing of the proceeding or as soon as the question is raised in the appellate court. The clerk must then certify that fact to the Attorney General.
