Senate Committee Postpones SB 63 Indefinitely
The Senate Business, Labor & Technology Committee voted to “postpone indefinitely” SB 07-063 – “Concerning the Exemptions of Mixed-Use Communities From Provisions Governing Amendments to The Declaration Establishing A Common Interest Community Under The ‘Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act.’” This action, which took place on Wednesday, February 14 at the request of the bill’s sponsor, Senator Morse, has the effect of killing the bill. It appears that this decision resulted from the lack of consensus as to how broad the exemption proposed in the amendment should be. (As discussed in this blog, SB 63 would have amended Section 217 of CCIOA, which currently caps the percentage of affirmative votes that may be required to amend an association declaration at 67 percent. The amendment would have added mixed-use communities to existing exemptions to this section.) With SB 63 no longer in the picture, it appears that CCIOA may actually remain unamended this legislative session!
