The bill proposes to repeal Part 13 of Article 1, Title 25 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.
The specific content of Part 13 is not included in the excerpt, so the significance depends on what is currently codified in that section.
Legislative Purpose of repealed statute: The General Assembly enacted this part in 2006 to position Colorado as a leader in emerging markets and technologies related to climate change. The legislative declaration emphasizes that addressing climate change can bring “significant economic opportunities for the state, particularly for agriculture and rural economies.” In other words, lawmakers intended for Colorado to benefit economically from climate change initiatives (like carbon credit markets and new energy technologies) while helping industries adapt. The Act’s purpose is to put Colorado at the forefront of these emerging climate-related markets and ensure that “affected industries and economies benefit from these opportunities.”
This is now repealed as obsolete.
