11:42 AM -- HB 16-1325
Representative Garnett, prime sponsor, came to the table to present House Bill 16-1325. Subject to the limitations listed below, the bill requires the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to display messages on its variable message signs regarding the dates of precinct caucuses and statewide elections beginning seven days before and concluding at 7 P.M. on the caucus or election date. The Secretary of State must notify CDOT of these election dates at least 21 days in advance.
CDOT must promptly seek federal approval to implement the bill. If the U.S. Department of Transportation or its agencies advise CDOT that displaying election-related messages will result in the reduction of federal aid highway funds to the state, CDOT must not display the messages.
CDOT may give priority to other alerts (i.e. Amber alerts) and safety-related messages, and nothing in the bill alters any Department of Public Safety procedures related to these alerts.
Amendment L.001, a strike-below amendment, was distributed to the committee (Attachment A). Representative Garnett responded to questions on the bill from the committee.

12:43 PM -- HB 16-1342
Representative Moreno came to the table to present House Bill 16-1342, which was laid over by the chair on April 7, 2016. The bill requires licensed automobile dealers who sell salvage, non-repairable, flood-damaged, junk, or similarly branded motor vehicles to report each transaction to a third-party data consolidator within two days of the sale. The consolidator must be approved by the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) and must forward the report to NMVTIS by the following day. The consolidator may charge the dealer a per-transaction fee.
The report must be maintained electronically by the dealer for three years and must contain the following:
• the motor vehicle's make, model, year, vehicle identification number (VIN), and current odometer reading;
• the name and address of the purchaser and the seller;
• a copy of the purchaser's driver's license or other government-issued identification document; and
• proof of the purchaser's in- or out-of-state automobile dealer license, if applicable.
The consolidator is required to make information received under this section available without charge and upon request to law enforcement, the Department of Revenue (DOR), and, if the DOR approves, a nongovernmental entity.
Any person who violates the reporting requirements under the bill commits an unclassified misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $500 per transaction, credited to the Auto Dealers License Fund.
In addition, the bill increases penalties for unlicensed automobile sales. Under current law, a person commits a class 3 misdemeanor for selling a motor vehicle without a license. Under the bill, this violation becomes an unclassified misdemeanor with the following penalties on unlicensed motor vehicle dealers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, manufacturer representatives, used motor vehicle dealers, buyer agents, wholesale motor vehicle auction dealers, and motor vehicle salespersons:
• for an individual, a fine of no less than $1,000 and 25 hours of public service, neither of which may be suspended by the court. A second conviction results in a fine ranging from no less than $5,000 to no more than $25,000, neither of which may be suspended by the court; and
• for a corporation, a fine ranging from no less than $5,000 to no more than $25,000 for each separate offense.
Fines for unlicensed automobile sales are awarded half to the law enforcement agency that conducted the investigation and issued the citation and half to the Auto Dealers License Fund.
Representative Moreno described amendment L.011 (Attachment B), a strike-below amendment, to the committee. He then distributed and explained amendment L.016 (Attachment C) to amendment L.011.
