04:05 PM -- House Bill 13-1204

Representative Gardner, prime sponsor, returned to discuss House Bill 13-1204, concerning the Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act. The bill was originally heard and laid over for action on Thursday, February 21, 2013. The bill, recommended by the Colorado Commission on Uniform State Laws, enacts the Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act. Generally, the bill standardizes and provides additional statutory guidance for the consideration of premarital and marital agreements by the courts. Among other things, the bill describes the formation of these agreements, when they are effective, and provisions that are unenforceable under certain conditions. The act applies to agreements signed on or after July 1, 2014.

Representative Gardner spoke about prepared amendment L.001 (Attachment C) and asked Stan Kent, representing the Uniform Law Commission to walk the committee through the amendment. The committee was provided with an unofficial preamended version of the bill that incorporates amendment L.001 (Attachment D). Mr. Kent responded to questions from the committee.
