SB 18-190

Senate Bill 18-190, which has been signed into law, allows county commissioners in Colorado to delegate certain land use decision-making powers to the county planning commission. This means that instead of the board making all decisions related to land use planning, they can pass some responsibilities to a specialized planning body. However, it's important to note that this delegation does not include the authority to impose fines or penalties. The bill affects how local governments manage land use and planning processes within their counties. Since the bill has been signed, it is now law and county commissioners can start implementing these changes as they see fit.
