TERM LIMITS

In 1994, the citizens of Colorado passed Amendment 17 which established term limits for all local elected offices.  Amendment 17 contains a provision allowing local governments to place term limit exemption questions on the ballot.  To date 58 counties have successfully removed or extended term limits for one or more elected offices.  The following is a listing of counties that have successfully repealed or extended term limits, the offices that were affected, and the year in which the term limit was repealed.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

CCI Hosted Webinar | May 24, 2022

CCI conducted a webinar on May 24 that provided information on EV charging stations, including the current planning process (and how counties might engage with state and regional partners), various funding opportunities and a general overview of charging stations and how they work.  The webinar featured speakers from CDOT, the Governor’s Energy Office and Francis Energy.

Governor Polis Vetoes HB22-1218 Requiring Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations in Commercial, Multifamily Buildings

During the legislative session, CCI tracked HB22-1218, Resource Efficiency Buildings Electric Vehicles, that would have set minimum requirements for EV chargers at new or renovated multifamily and commercial buildings.

As an important update, Governor Polis vetoed the bill, arguing it did not offer builders enough flexibility and risked raising housing prices across the state.

As this bill was included in CCI’s 2022 Mandates & Authorities presentation, we wanted to be sure you knew there is no longer any county obligation from this legislation.
