44-30-1517  73       Repeals this section as obsolete. This section requires the

C.R.S.  Section  Reason for Amendment
Section  in bill
29-35-503 (1)  74       Corrects a drafting error in House Bill 26-1001 by changing
(Added by HB26-1001)  the date listed in this provision from "June 31, 2028" to "June
                                    30, 2028" because June 31, 2028, is not a valid date on the
                                    calendar. (See HB26-1001.)
42-2-124 (7)(c)(IV)(A)     75       Corrects an incorrect internal reference in HB26-1007

                                    report. (See HB26-1007 and the 2026 Senate Journal for
