The source note for each section indicates the year the section was added, each year it was amended, and the page ofthe Session Laws and the section of the bill where the amendment can be found. The source note includes the number of the section in prior codifications when applicable. For amendments made after 1973, informa- tion on each specific provision of the section that has been changed by a bill, the specific change to the provision (i.e. added, added with relocations, amended, amended with relocations, repealed, repealed and reenacted, orrecreated and reenacted), and the effective date of the bill are shown. The legislative history is arranged by year ofpassage; ifthe section was amended by two or more acts in the same year, the order of the information for that year is determined by the effective dates ofthe acts. The effective date in the source note indicates the datethe act orportionofthe acttakes effecteven ifthe textofthe amendment indicates adifferentdate. If the year is not included with the month and day, the provision is effective the year of passage. Additional information to assist the user in researching C.R.S. sections can be found beginning on page vii. The following provides a further explanation of the information found in a source note: "L." is the symbol for "Session Laws" and will be followed by a number indicating the year when the C.R.S. section was changed by an act generally either creating new law, amending existing law, or repealing existing law; except that, in the constitution, "L." also means constitutional measures referred by the GeneralAssembly and voted on by the people ofColoradoat a general or an odd-year election. "Ex. Sess." is the symbol for "Extraordinary Session". If this symbol follows the year, the amended provision can be found in the Session Laws foran extraordinary session forthat yearand not in the Session Laws forthe regular session of the General Assembly for that year (S, S2 in the Red Book). "p." is the symbol for "page" and will be followed by a number indicating thepage ofthe Session Laws where the amendmentto the C.R.S. sectioncan be found. "§" isthe symbol for "section" and will be followedby anumberindicating the section of the act where the amendment to the C.R.S. section can be found. "IP" is the symbol for the "introductory portion" to a section, subsection, paragraph, or subparagraph. "Added" means the provision was newly enacted by the act (N in the Red Book). "Added with relocations" means the provision in existing law was relocated from one title, article, part, or section to anothertitle, article, part, or section with amendments by the act. vi "Amended" means the provision in existing law was amended by the act (A in the Red Book). "Amended with relocations" means the provision in existing law was amended to reorganize an entire title, article, part,,or section by the act. "Repealed" means the provision was deleted from the existing law by the act through the use of a repeal provision (R in the Red Book). "R&RE" is the symbol for "Repealed and Reenacted" and means the provision in existing law was repealed and reenacted by the act (RE in the Red Book). "RC&RE" is the symbol for "Recreated and Reenacted" and means a previously repealed provision has been recreated by the act (RC in the Red Book). "Added by revision" means a provision providing for the repeal of a statutory provision on a specified date has been added by the Revisor of Statutes as a C.R.S. provision. Adding the provision is necessary because a separate section of the act provided for the repeal of the provision with a future effective date. "Initiated" means a provision that was amended by means of an initiated petition approved by a vote of the people of Colorado at a general or an odd-year election. "Referred" means a provision that was amended by a measure referred by the General Assembly and voted on by the people of Colorado at a general or an odd-year election; except that, in the constitution, a referred measure is indicated by "L." and also means constitutional measures referred by the GeneralAssembly and voted on by the people ofColorado at a general oran odd-year election. Starting in 2009, references tothebillnumberandchapternumberhavebeen included in the source note. If you are conducting a search on-line, the bill number reference within the source note links directly to the bill itself. Colorado Statutory Research Legislative history is not already written. It must be compiled by the researcherfrom many different sources and materials. The following information is a helpful starting point in identifyinginformationyou wishtoresearch. Consulttheredbooktabledistributedwiththe session laws, the softbound editions of Colorado Revised Statutes beginning in 1997, the comparative tables located in the back of the C.R.S. index, C.R.S. 1963 and subsequent cumulative supplements thereto through 1971, and C.R.S. 1973 and annual cumulative supplements thereto through 1996. Prior to 1921, enacted laws were not compiled into a comparative table, thereby making it moredifficultto trackthe legislative history. Determining the subjectmatterin the statutory index is the only choice for tracking the history ofa statute since a statute did not retain its original number. The General Statutes of 1883 arranged laws into numbered chapters, alphabetically entitled, collated, and arranged by sections. This became the foundation and vii model forcompilingthe statutesuntilthecodificationofC.R.S. 1973. (SeeRevised Statutes ofColorado 1908, An Act Providing For the Compilation, Publication, and Distribution of all the general statutes of the state.) References in some source notes throughout the Colorado Revised Statutes to "Code 08", "Code 21", and "Code 35" are to the Revised Statutes of Colorado 1908, the Compiled Laws of Colorado 1921, and the Colorado Statutes Annotated 1935, respectively. Each of these volumes set forth the general statutes ofthe state ofColorado, including the Code of Civil Procedure and, in 1935, the Colorado Supreme Court Rules. On January 6, 1941, the Colorado Supreme Court adopted the new Rules of Civil Procedure, which became effective onApril 6, 1941, resulting in the publication ofareplacementvolume. Thereafter, the publication of the Colorado Court Rules, although a continuing part of the Colorado Revised Statutes, contained a combination ofthe Federal Rules and the Colorado Code of Civil Procedure and, in addition, included some provisions that were entirely distinct from both the Federal Rules and the Colorado Code ofCivil Procedure, as adopted or amended by the Supreme Court of Colorado. To research a statute as it existed in previous years, the following is a chronological list of C.R.S. publications and the correct citation for each publication.
