            The bill authorizes the owners of motor vehicles, trailers, and
       mobile machinery to elect to register their vehicles for 2 years.  Vehicles
       registered for 2 years are exempt from the registration late fee.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  Legislative declaration. The general assembly
       hereby declares that this act will make the registration of vehicles more
       convenient for the citizens of Colorado and save both the state and county
       governments of Colorado money in the administration of vehicle
       registration.
            SECTION 2.  42-3-102, Colorado Revised Statutes, is amended
       BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SUBSECTION to read:
            42-3-102.  Periodic registration - rules.  (4)   Effective no
       later than January 1, 2012, the department shall establish by
       rule a program whereby the owner of Class B, Class C, Class D,
       or Class F personal property may, at the owner's option, register
       the vehicle for two years upon the payment of the registration
       fees and specific ownership tax due over the next two years.  A
       two-year registration pursuant to this subsection (4) shall
       expire on the last day of the last month of the two-year
       registration period.
                      
            SECTION 3.  Act subject to petition - effective date -
       applicability.  (1)  This act shall take effect at 12:01 a.m. on the day
       following the expiration of the ninety-day period after final adjournment
       of the general assembly (August 11, 2010, if adjournment sine die is on
       May 12, 2010); except that, if a referendum petition is filed pursuant to
       section 1 (3) of article V of the state constitution against this act or an
       item, section, or part of this act within such period, then the act, item,
       section, or part shall not take effect unless approved by the people at the
       general election to be held in November 2010 and shall take effect on the
       date of the official declaration of the vote thereon by the governor.
            (2)  The provisions of this act shall apply to motor vehicles,
       trailers, and mobile machinery registered on or after the applicable
       effective date of this act.
