Illegal Drug Laboratory Property And Certification

Type Bill
Session 2023 Regular Session
Subjects
Natural Resources & Environment Housing

Concerning property used to illegally manufacture drugs, and, in connection therewith, making an appropriation.

Bill Summary:

The act requires the department of public health and environment (department) to create a public database of buildings that have been used as illegal drug laboratories involving methamphetamine. The department must remove a building from the database 5 years after the property has been decontaminated. The database must notify the public as to whether the property has been decontaminated.

A law enforcement agency and an industrial hygienist are required to notify the department upon discovering an illegal drug laboratory that manufactured methamphetamine on residential property.

Colorado law creates a warranty of habitability that authorizes a tenant to void a lease if the property is not habitable. The act adds to the warranty a failure to remediate residential property that has been used as an illegal drug laboratory to make methamphetamine.

To implement the act, $74,516 is appropriated to the department from the general fund.

APPROVED by Governor June 2, 2023
