The bill allows a state-supported institution of higher education to charge in-state tuition to an athlete residing anywhere in Colorado and training in an elite level program in Colorado approved by the United States Olympic committee and the governing body of an Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American, or Parapan American sport. The bill removes the requirement in current law that athletes must be residing in Colorado Springs.

Legislative Audit Committee. Current law requires the division of correctional industries in the department of corrections to establish programs that are responsible for vehicle maintenance, physical plant and facility maintenance, and food and laundry services for each of the state's correctional facilities. The bill removes this requirement.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)

Beginning on the effective date of the bill, the bill creates a state sales and use tax exemption for a historic aircraft that is on loan for public display, demonstration, educational, or museum promotional purposes (public display) in the state if: The historic aircraft is on loan for public display to a publicly owned or nonprofit museum in the state; The historic aircraft will be used only for public display while within the state but away from the museum to which the historic aircraft is on loan; and The museum to which the historic aircraft is on loan for public display is open to the public for at least 20 hours every week.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)

Legislative Audit Committee. Current law requires the creation of a child protection team for any county or group of contiguous counties receiving more than 50 referrals related to child abuse or neglect in a year. Other counties or groups of contiguous counties are encouraged, but not required, to establish a child protection team. The bill makes it optional for all counties and groups of contiguous counties to establish a child protection team, at the discretion of the county director or the directors of a contiguous group of counties. The state department of human services is directed to include a summary and description of the work of child protection teams in its annual 'State Measurement for Accountable, Responsive, and Transparent (SMART) Government Act' presentation.

Statutory Revision Committee. Section 15-16-919 (2)(j)(I) of the 'Colorado Uniform Trust Decanting Act' refers to a second trust when discussing the decanting power of an authorized fiduciary. This conflicts with the uniform law commission's corrected version of the 'Colorado Uniform Trust Decanting Act'. The bill changes one reference to the second trust to the first trust. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)

The bill limits penalties for violations relating to the sale of alcohol beverages to a visibly intoxicated or underage person that occur in a sales room for licensees operating a beer wholesaler, winery, limited winery, or distillery, or in a retail establishment, for licensees operating a brew pub, vintner's restaurant, or distillery pub, by prohibiting the licensing authority from: Basing any fine on the estimated gross revenues of any manufacturing or wholesale activities of the licensee; and Extending any suspension to the manufacturing or wholesale activities of the licensee.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)

Currently, a bank may rely on a certificate of trust when trustees open a trust deposit account. The bill requires trustees to provide additional information in a certificate of trust. The bill also permits a bank to rely on a certificate of trust for any transaction between the bank and the trustees unless the bank has knowledge that the certificate of trust is contrary to the trust agreement. Knowledge will not be inferred solely because the bank has a copy of the trust agreement. The bill allows credit unions to rely on a certificate of trust in the same manner as a bank.

Under current law, an applicant for a concealed handgun permit must satisfy certain criteria, including a requirement that the he or she is at least 21 years of age.
