03:23 PM -- HB 16-1009

Representative Buck came to the table to present House Bill 16-1009, which adds peace officers slain in the line of duty to the statute for distinctive special license plates. It allows the current Fallen Heroes group special license plate to be issued as a distinctive special license plate when issued to a local government. A local government that chooses a Fallen Heroes license plate must pay material fees and the required donation to the Colorado Chapter of the Concerns of Police Survivors, but is not required to pay the one-time special license plate fee of $50, nor the specific ownership tax or registration fees from which local governments are already exempt. It also repeals the retirement date of the Fallen Heroes license plate, which was set to expire July 1, 2017, if the plate failed to be registered for 3,000 vehicles.

Representative Buck responded to questions from the committee. Jery Payne, Office of Legislative Legal Services, and Tony Anderson, Department of Revenue, came to the table to respond to questions on the bill.

03:38 PM --
Heather Tharp, representing herself, testified in support of the bill. A printout of a Fallen Heroes group special license plate was provided to the committee (Attachment G).
