           SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 31-30-1104, amend
      (1) (d); and repeal (3) as follows:
      
           31-30-1104.  Board - municipality. (1)  In a municipality, the board
      must consist of the following members:
      
           (d) (I)  Prior to the effective date of this paragraph (d), as
      amended, three fire department members of the entire membership of all
      classes of fire departments serving the municipality who are elected by the
      fire department members of those fire departments for three-year terms.
      except that, at the initial election, one member shall be elected for three
      years, one member for two years, and one member for one year. In all
      subsequent elections, these members shall be elected for three years.
      
           (II)  Beginning at the next election to elect a board member
      pursuant to this paragraph (d) after the effective date of this
      paragraph (d), as amended, three individuals elected from one or
      more of the following groups to the extent such groups exist at
      the time of election: Fire department members, retired fire
      department members, or retired fire department members
      returned to active service pursuant to section 31-30-1132. The
      three individuals shall be elected by the fire department
      members, retired fire department members, and retired fire
      department members returned to active service of those fire
      departments and shall serve for three year terms as such terms
      exist on the effective date of this paragraph (d), as amended.
      Nothing in this subparagraph (II) shall be construed to effect the
      term of any person serving on the board of a municipal volunteer
      firefighter pension board pursuant to subparagraph (I) of this
      paragraph (d) on the effective date of this subparagraph (II).
      
           (3)  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (1) and (2) of this
      section, the governing body of the municipality may continue with the
      board composition that was in effect on June 4, 1995.
      
           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
      6, 2014, if adjournment sine die is on May 7, 2014); 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.
