            The bill allows the proceeds of the transfer of a hospital owned by
       a municipality or county to be used for any public purpose if the
       municipality or county refers a ballot question to the voters of the
       municipality or county authorizing the public purpose for which the
       proceeds will be used, and a majority of the voters voting in the election
       approve the ballot question.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  6-19-403, Colorado Revised Statutes, is amended
       BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SUBSECTION to read:
            6-19-403.  Certification and criteria.  (2)  Notwithstanding
       any other law, for any covered transaction involving a hospital
       owned by a municipality or county, a municipality or county may
       use the proceeds of the covered transaction for any public
       purpose, and paragraphs (a), (b), (f), and (i) of subsection (1) of
       this section and section 6-19-405, do not apply so long as the
       municipality or county refers to the voters of the municipality
       or county for their approval a ballot question authorizing the
       public purpose for which proceeds of the covered transaction
       will be used.  If a majority of the voters voting in the election
       approve the ballot question, the proceeds may be used as
       approved by the voters.
            SECTION 2.  6-19-102, Colorado Revised Statutes, is amended

       otherwise requires:
            (4)  "Municipality" has the same meaning as set forth in
       section 31-1-101 (6), C.R.S.
            SECTION 3.  Safety clause.  The general assembly hereby finds,
       determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
       preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
