Senate introduces constitutional amendment to preempt conflicting local land-use laws
Summary
The clerk introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 001, which would submit to Colorado voters a proposed amendment to the state constitution to preempt local laws that conflict with state law in permitting, zoning, planning, land use and siting. No debate or vote was recorded.
The clerk announced Senate Concurrent Resolution 001 and identified Sen. Peltner as its sponsor, reading that the measure 'submits to the registered electors of the state of Colorado an amendment to the Colorado constitution concerning the preemption of state laws by conflicting local laws in the areas of local permitting, zoning, planning, land use, and siting decisions.'
The matter was introduced as a concurrent resolution to place a proposed constitutional amendment before Colorado voters; the transcript records the clerk's reading of the measure but contains no debate, questions, or recorded votes on the resolution.
Because the resolution would change the Colorado Constitution if approved by voters, it would alter the relative authority of state and local governments in the listed areas if adopted. The transcript does not record committee referrals, floor debate, or subsequent procedural steps for the resolution.
The clerk’s reading in the session was the only action recorded on SCR 001 in this transcript.
