                           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

            A local government is currently not allowed to require or prohibit
       the use or sale of specified types of plastic materials or products or to
       restrict or mandate containers, packaging, or labeling for any consumer
       product. The bill repeals this restriction.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, repeal 25-17-104 as
       follows:
            25-17-104.  Local government preemption. No unit of local
       government shall require or prohibit the use or sale of specific types of
       plastic materials or products or restrict or mandate containers, packaging,
       or labeling for any consumer products.
            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.
