SB 17-225

Senate Bill 17-225, which has been signed into law, moves certain agricultural laws from one part of Colorado’s legal code to another. Specifically, it relocates the "Commodity Handler Act" and the "Farm Products Act," both previously under Title 12, to new locations in Title 35. This change affects farmers, warehouse operators, and other businesses involved in handling farm products by updating where these regulations can be found in the state’s statutes. Since it has been signed, the changes are now part of Colorado's official laws.

Official Summary

Committee on Legal Services. Current law directs the office of legislative legal services to study the organizational recodification of title 12 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, which relates to professions and occupations. To implement the initial recommendations of the study, the bill relocates the following laws: Part 2 of article 16 of title 12, the 'Commodity Handler Act', to article 36 of title 35 ( section 1 of the bill); and Part 1 of article 16 of title 12, the 'Farm Products Act', to article 37 of title 35 ( section 2 of the bill). Section 10 of the bill repeals the article where these laws were previously codified, and sections 3 through 9 make conforming amendments.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
