                           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 requires candidates for school board membership to
       have been a registered elector of the district for 12 consecutive months
       prior to election. The bill repeals the requirement that the candidate be a
       registered elector of the district. 
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 22-31-107, amend
       (1) as follows:
            22-31-107.  Candidates for school director - call - qualification
       - nomination. (1)   Any candidate for the office of school director of a
       school district shall have been a registered elector of the district for at
       least twelve consecutive months prior to the election. If the school district
       has a director district plan of representation or a combined director
       district and at-large plan of representation, the candidate shall be a
       resident of the director district that will be represented, unless the
       candidate will serve as an at-large director or has been elected at the time
       of or prior to the adoption of a director district plan of representation or
       a combined director district and at-large plan of representation by the
       eligible electors of the district.
            SECTION 2.  Act subject to petition - effective date. This act
       takes 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
       7, 2013, if adjournment sine die is on May 8, 2013); 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 will not take effect
       unless approved by the people at the general election to be held in
       November 2014 and, in such case, will take effect on the date of the
       official declaration of the vote thereon by the governor.
