Senator Hisey, bill sponsor, presented Senate Bill 19-047. The bill authorizes the same procedure to remove an unauthorized person from vacant land as is currently in place for residential property. 

Aubrey Hasrold, Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, testified against the bill.

Suzanne Leff, Colorado Bar Association, testified against the bill.

Tristan Gorman, Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, testified against the bill.

The members of the panel responded to questions from the committee.

Committee questions and discussion continued.

Senate Bill 19-019 was heard and public testimony was taken
during the January 22, 2019, Local Government Committee meeting.  The
bill was laid over for action only.  

Senator Fields, bill sponsor, reviewed the provisions of
the bill and distributed amendment L.002 and a handout (Attachments A and
B).

Senator Ginal announce that since there was no one signed
up for public testimony on House Bill 19-1011 and Senator Tate, bill sponsor,
was occupied in another committee, the bill was on the table for action.

House Bill 19-1011 changes
statutory language to conform with existing practice at the Department
of Revenue.   Current law references a definition of manufactured
housing that no longer exists.  In its place is a definition for modular
homes.  This bill changes the definition to that of a "manufactured
home," which includes both modular and manufactured homes.  Mentions
of the word "vehicle" are also removed to conform with accompanying
statutory references that expressly state a manufactured home cannot have
motive power.
