                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note:  This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted.  If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that
       applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at

            Current law restricts the compensation that county treasurers can
       receive for collecting drainage district and irrigation district assessments
       to not less than $25 or more than $100 each year.  The bill increases
       county treasurers' compensation for those services to the following
       amounts, which are identical to the treasurers' compensation for the
       analogous services provided to special districts:  In counties of the first
       class, one percent of the amount collected; second class, 1.5%; third class,
       2%; fourth class, 3%; and fifth class, 5%.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  30-1-102 (1) (o) and (1) (p), Colorado Revised
       Statutes, are amended to read:
            30-1-102.  Fees of county treasurer.  (1)  The county treasurer
       shall charge and receive the following fees:
            (o)  For services in collecting drainage district and irrigation
       district assessments, such amount as the board of directors of the
       district may allow, but not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than one
       hundred dollars per annum the percentages specified in paragraph
       (b) of this subsection (1);
            (p)  For services in collecting irrigation district assessments, such
       amount as the board of directors of the district may allow, but not less
       than twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars per annum;
            SECTION 2.  Act subject to petition - effective date.  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
       10, 2011, if adjournment sine die is on May 11, 2011); 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 2012 and shall take effect on the date of the official
       declaration of the vote thereon by the governor.
