signedSenate Bill 21-271 Clean-up
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHB 22-1229, also known as Senate Bill 21-271 Clean-up, is a Colorado bill that revises the procedures for handling civil infractions—minor violations of law that aren’t criminal offenses. The bill updates and clarifies how these infractions are handled by changing some rules from the previous year’s laws. It affects anyone who might face a civil infraction in Colorado. Since it has been signed, the new procedures are now in effect.
Official Summary
During the 2021 session, the general assembly created a civil infraction as penalty for violations of the law that do not rise to criminal conduct and included procedures for civil infractions. The act repeals those provisions and replaces them with new procedures for handling civil infractions. The act makes conforming amendments related to civil infractions. The act makes clean-up changes to other provisions to conform to changes made to criminal sentencing provisions during the 2021 session.
