Colorado Code
Article 6 - Location, Change, and Settlement of Boundaries
§ 30-6-109.7. Minor Boundary Adjustments

(8.5) Subsections (3) and (8) of this section shall not apply to a minor boundary adjustment if the county to which territory will be added is bound by the intergovernmental agreement negotiated pursuant to subsection (5) of this section to use the territory solely for park and open space purposes.

Source: L. 98: Entire section added, p. 800, § 1, effective August 5. L. 2003: (8) and (10) amended and (8.5) added, p. 1323, § 1, effective August 6.
Editor's note: Subsection (10) of this section contained a provision that repealed the entire section effective August 5, 2003. Subsection (10) was deleted by amendment in House Bill 03-1239 to give continuing effect to the section. The bill also amended subsection (8) and added a new subsection (8.5). This bill did not contain a safety clause. A bill without a safety clause usually takes effect on the day following the expiration of the ninety-day period after adjournment of the general assembly. Therefore, House Bill 03-1239 would normally take effect on August 6, 2003, one day after the repeal of the section was to take effect. An argument could be made that the deletion of the repealer and the other amendments to the section were of no effect because the repeal had already taken effect on the previous day. However, such an interpretation would defeat the general assembly's purpose in enacting the bill. For that reason, if a court is asked to address this circumstance, it could reach the conclusion that the amendment deleting the repeal should be given effect as of the date the governor signed the bill on April 22, 2003, rather than the technical effective date (see People v. Tacorante, 624 P.2d 1324 (Colo. 1981), where a similar conclusion was reached). In view of these factors, the repeal of this section is not reflected in the version printed above; rather, the section appears as amended by House Bill 03-1239.
