30-28-106. Master plan - definition. (1) It is the duty of a county planning commission to make and adopt a master plan for the physical development of the unincorporated territory of the county, subject to the approval of the county commission having jurisdiction thereof. When a county planning commission decides to adopt a master plan, the commission shall conduct public hearings, after notice of such public hearings has been published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in a manner sufficient to notify the public of the time, place, and nature of the public hearing, prior to final adoption of a master plan in order to encourage public participation in and awareness of the development of such plan and shall accept and consider oral and written public comments throughout the process of developing the plan.

(2) (a) It is the duty of a regional planning commission to make and adopt a regional plan for the physical development of the territory within the boundaries of the region, but no such plan shall be effective within the boundaries of any incorporated municipality within the region unless such plan is adopted by the governing body of the municipality for the development of its territorial limits and under the terms of paragraph (b) of this subsection (2). When a regional planning commission decides to adopt a master plan, the commission shall conduct public hearings, after notice of such public hearings has been published in a newspaper of general circulation in the region in a manner sufficient to notify the public of the time, place, and nature of the public hearing, prior to final adoption of a master plan in order to encourage public participation in and awareness of the development of such plan and shall accept and consider oral and written public comments throughout the process of developing the plan.

(b) In case of disapproval, the commission shall communicate its reasons to the board of county commissioners of the county in which the public way, ground, space, building, structure, or utility is proposed to be located. Such board has the power to overrule such disapproval by a vote of not less than a majority of its entire membership.

(e) A failure on the part of any district, county, or municipal planning commission to refer to the regional planning commission any plan or authorization provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection (2) shall be deemed a determination by such district, county, or municipal planning commission that the matter is local in nature.

(f) The regional planning commission, on its own initiative, may initiate a review of any matter involving its regional planning functions, whether such matter has been referred to it or not, if the subject of the review affects two or more local jurisdictions and may make a report of the result of such review to the governing bodies of the jurisdictions involved.

(g) The provisions of this subsection (2) shall not apply to any proposed business or industrial zoning change of less than twenty acres nor to any proposed residential zoning change or subdivision of less than forty acres.

(3) (a) All plans of streets or highways for public use, and all plans, plats, plots, and replots of land laid out in subdivision or building lots and the streets, highways, alleys, or other portions of the same intended to be dedicated to a public use or the use of purchasers or owners of lots fronting thereon or adjacent thereto, shall be submitted to the board of county commissioners for review and subsequent approval, conditional approval, or disapproval. It is not lawful to record any such plan or plat in any public office unless the same bears thereon, by endorsement or otherwise, the approval of the board of county commissioners and after review by the appropriate planning commission.

(b) The approval of said plan or plat by such commission shall not be deemed an acceptance of the proposed dedication by the public. Such acceptance, if any, shall be given by action of the governing body of the municipality or by the board of county commissioners. The owners and purchasers of such lots shall be presumed to have notice of public plans, maps, and reports of such commission affecting such property within its jurisdiction.

(4) (a) Any subdivider, or agent of a subdivider, who transfers legal or equitable title or sells any subdivided land before a final plat for such subdivided land has been approved by the board of county commissioners and recorded or filed in the office of the county clerk and recorder is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars nor less than five hundred dollars for each parcel of or interest in subdivided land which is sold. All fines collected under this paragraph (a) shall be credited to the general fund of the county. No person shall be prosecuted, tried, or punished under this paragraph (a) unless the indictment, information, complaint, or action for the same is instituted prior to the expiration of eighteen months after the recordation or filing in the office of the county clerk and recorder of the instrument transferring or selling such subdivided land. The board of county commissioners may provide for the enforcement of subdivision regulations by means of withholding building permits. No plat for subdivided land shall be approved by the board of county commissioners unless at the time of the approval of platting the subdivider provides the certification of the county treasurer's office that all ad valorem taxes applicable to such subdivided land, for years prior to that year in which approval is granted, have been paid.

(b) The board of county commissioners of the county in which the subdivided land is located has the power to bring an action to enjoin any subdivider from selling subdivided land before a final plat for such subdivided land has been approved by the board of county commissioners.

(c) The board of county commissioners shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, the sets of plans or plats submitted to the agencies as referred to in section 30-28-136 (1).

(d) Any violation of paragraph (a) of this subsection (4) is prima facie evidence of a fraudulent land transaction and shall be grounds for the purchaser to void the transfer or sale.

(e) This subsection (4) applies only with respect to parcels of land less than thirty-five acres in area.

(5) (a) Notice of the filing of preliminary plans of any type required by this section to be submitted to a district, regional, or county planning commission or to the board of county commissioners, if the situs of these plans lies wholly or partially within two miles of the corporate limits of a municipality but not within the corporate limits of another municipality, shall be referred to the town or city clerk of such municipality by the county planning commission or, if there be none, by the board of county commissioners. Within fourteen days of the receipt of such plans, the municipality, by action of its city council or town board, or, if one exists, by action of its planning commission, may make its recommendations to the board of county commissioners, which shall forward the same to the district, regional, or county planning commission, if any. Failure of the town board, city council, or agents designated by them to make any recommendation within fourteen days of the receipt of such plans shall constitute waiver of its right to make such recommendation.

(b) If such recommendation is made by the municipality, it shall be taken into consideration by the board of county commissioners and district, regional, or county planning commission, if any, before action is taken upon the plans. The board of county commissioners and district, regional, or county planning commission, if any, shall take no action on such plans until the recommendation of the municipality is received or until fifteen days after receipt of the preliminary plans, whichever is sooner.

Status: in_force

30-15-401.7. Determination of fire hazard area - community wildfire protection plans - adoption - legislative declaration - definitions. (1) (a) The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that:

(I) Community wildfire protection plans, or CWPPs, are authorized and defined in section 101 of Title I of the federal "Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003", Pub.L. 108-148, referred to in this section as "HFRA". Title I of HFRA authorizes the secretaries of agriculture and the interior to expedite the development and implementation of hazardous fuel reduction projects on federal lands managed by the United States forest service and the bureau of land management when these agencies meet certain conditions. HFRA emphasizes the need for federal agencies to work collaboratively with local communities in developing hazardous fuel reduction projects, placing priority on treatment areas identified by the local communities themselves in a CWPP. The wild land-urban interface area is one of the identified property areas that qualify under HFRA for the use of this expedited environmental review process.

(II) The development of a CWPP can assist a local community in clarifying and refining its priorities for the protection of life, property, and critical infrastructure in its wildland-urban interface area. The CWPP brings together diverse federal, state, and local interests to discuss their mutual concerns for public safety, community sustainability, and natural resources. The CWPP process offers a positive, solution-oriented environment in which to address challenges such as local fire-fighting capability, the need for defensible space around homes and housing developments, and where and how to prioritize land management on both federal and nonfederal lands. CWPPs can be as simple or complex as a local community desires.

(III) The adoption of a CWPP brings many benefits to the state and adopting local community, including:

(A) The opportunity to establish a locally appropriate definition and boundary for the wildland-urban interface area;

(B) The opportunity to study the effect of fire ratings and combustibility standards for building materials used in wildland-urban interface areas;

(C) The establishment of relations with other state and local government officials, local fire chiefs, state and national fire organizations, federal land management agencies, private homeowners, electric, gas, and water utility providers in the subject area, and community groups, thereby ensuring collaboration among these groups in initiating a planning dialogue and facilitating the implementation of priority actions across ownership boundaries;

(D) Specialized natural resource knowledge and technical expertise relative to the planning process, particularly in the areas of global positioning systems and mapping, vegetation management, assessment of values and risks, and funding strategies; and

(E) Statewide leadership in developing and maintaining a list or map of communities at risk within the state and facilitating work among federal and local partners to establish priorities for action.

(IV) CWPPs give priority to projects that provide for the protection of at-risk communities or watersheds or that implement recommendations in the CWPP.

(V) CWPPs assist local communities in influencing where and how federal agencies implement fuel reduction projects on federal lands and how additional federal funds may be distributed for projects on nonfederal lands, and in determining the types and methods of treatment that, if completed, would reduce the risk to the community.

(VI) The development of CWPPs promotes economic opportunities in rural communities.

(b) By enacting this section, the general assembly intends to facilitate and encourage the development of CWPPs in counties with fire hazard areas in their territorial boundaries and to provide more statewide uniformity and consistency with respect to the content of CWPPs in counties needing protection against wildfires.

(2) As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) "CWPP" means a community wildfire protection plan as authorized and defined in section 101 of Title I of the federal "Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003", Pub.L. 108-148.

(b) "Fire hazard area" means an area mapped by the Colorado state forest service, identified in section 23-31-302, C.R.S., as facing a substantial and recurring risk of exposure to severe fire hazards.

(3) (a) Not later than January 1, 2011, the board of county commissioners of each county, with the assistance of the state forester, shall determine whether there are fire hazard areas within the unincorporated portion of the county.

(b) Not later than one hundred eighty days after determining there are fire hazard areas within the unincorporated portion of a county, the board of county commissioners, in collaboration with the representatives of the organizations or entities enumerated in section 23-31-312 (3), C.R.S., that established the guidelines and criteria, shall prepare a CWPP for the purpose of addressing wildfires in fire hazard areas within the unincorporated portion of the county. In preparing the CWPP, the board shall consider the guidelines and criteria established by the state forester and such representatives pursuant to section 23-31-312 (3), C.R.S.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a county that has already prepared a CWPP or an equivalent plan as of August 5, 2009, and, in connection with such preparation, considered the guidelines and criteria established by the state forester and designated representatives pursuant to section 23-31-312 (3), C.R.S., shall not be required to prepare a new CWPP to satisfy the requirements of this section.

It is the intent of the general assembly in enacting this part 3 to provide the means by which the state may provide such necessary assistance through impact assistance grants.

(a) Any increase in the market value of the property;

(b) The provision for accepting the burden from specific dominant property for discharging surface water onto servient property in a manner or quantity greater than would naturally flow because the dominant owner made some of his property impermeable;

(c) Any adaptability of property to a superior or more profitable use;

(d) Any alleviation of health and sanitation hazards accruing to particular property or accruing to public property in the improvement district if the provision of health and sanitation is paid for wholly or partially out of funds derived from taxation of property owners of the improvement district;

Such bonds shall bear interest at a rate such that the net effective interest rate of the issue of bonds does not exceed the maximum net effective interest rate authorized, payable at such times as determined by the board, and shall be due and payable in installments at such times as determined by the board and extending not more than twenty years from date of issuance. The form and terms of said bonds, including provisions for their sale, payment, and redemption, shall be determined by the board. To the extent required by section 20 of article X of the Colorado constitution, such bonds shall not be issued unless first approved at an election held for that purpose in accordance with articles 1 to 13 of title 1, C.R.S. If the board so determines, such bonds may be redeemable prior to maturity, with or without payment of a premium, but no premium shall exceed three percent of the principal thereof. The bonds shall be executed in the name of and on behalf of the district and signed by the presiding officer of the board with the seal of the district affixed thereto and attested by the secretary of the board. Such bonds shall be in such denominations as the board shall determine. Interest coupons, if any, shall bear the original or facsimile signature of the presiding officer of the board. Under no circumstances shall any of said bonds be considered or held to be an indebtedness, obligation, or liability of the counties or municipalities in which the district or any portion thereof is located, and bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of this part 5 shall contain a statement to that effect.

(2) The general assembly finds and declares that:

(a) In performing its duties under section 20 of article X and section 6 of article XI of the Colorado constitution, the general assembly must balance the interests of controlling public debt, preserving local control, and reasonably restraining most of the growth of government;

(b) In balancing these constitutional interests through the exercise of its legislative authority, the general assembly has enacted limitations on the ability of county public improvement districts to incur indebtedness;

(c) A statutory restriction has been imposed on the amount of bonded indebtedness that county public improvement districts can incur with voter approval;

(d) From time to time, changes to such limitations imposed on county public improvement districts are necessary in order to keep these constitutional interests properly balanced in light of changing circumstances;

(e) Section 20 (1) of article X of the Colorado constitution prohibits the weakening of "other limits on district revenue, spending, and debt" without future voter approval;

(f) No change in county public improvement district debt occurs by virtue of statutory changes that increase a limit when the debt would not actually increase without such district voter approval;

(g) Any actual weakening of county public improvement district debt limitation occurs only when such district voter approval is obtained under an increased limit; and

(h) By requiring voters to give approval at the county public improvement district level for any weakening of a county public improvement district limit on debt, the voter approval requirement of section 20 (1) of article X of the Colorado constitution is satisfied in a manner achieving a reasonable result through legislative harmonization of constitutional provisions.

30-20-1401. Legislative declaration - rules - enforcement - recyclable material
Status: in_force

30-20-1401. Legislative declaration - rules - enforcement - recyclable material. (1) The general assembly finds and declares that:

(a) In order to protect the environment and the public health, there is a special need to address problems created by the disposal of waste tires and the lack of recycling and beneficial reuse of waste tires;

(b) In adopting this part 14, the general assembly has encouraged the development of techniques for resource recovery, recycling, and reuse of waste tires; however, there is still room for improvement regarding the management of waste tires in Colorado;

(c) The management of waste tires at the state level promotes economic development and provides substantial environmental impacts across the state;

(d) It is in the state's interest to provide for the recovery, recycling, reuse, and management of waste tires through a government-run enterprise;

(e) Providing statewide waste tire recycling, beneficial reuse, and management constitutes a valuable service and benefit, and a waste tire management enterprise would provide useful business services to tire retailers, automobile dealers, automobile repair shops, service stations, automotive fleet centers, waste tire haulers, waste tire collection facilities, waste tire processors, recycling and waste facilities, landfills, consumers, and all residents of Colorado;

(f) The waste tire management enterprise will aid in the proper management of waste tires by providing financial incentives and rebates for the recycling of waste tires into end-use tire-derived products, which financial incentives and rebates directly compensate people who properly dispose of or recycle waste tires, provide fee payers more convenient waste tire and disposal options, increase the production of tire-derived products, and positively impact human health and safety and the environment;

(g) It is necessary, appropriate, and in the best interest of the state to acknowledge that, by providing the business services specified in this part 14, the enterprise engages in an activity conducted in the pursuit of a benefit, gain, or livelihood and therefore operates as a business;

(h) Consistent with the determination of the Colorado supreme court in Nicholl v. E-470 Public Highway Authority, 896 P.2d 859 (Colo. 1995), that the power to impose taxes is inconsistent with enterprise status under section 20 of article X of the state constitution, it is the conclusion of the general assembly that the waste tire enterprise fee collected by the enterprise is a fee, not a tax, because the fee is imposed for the specific purpose of allowing the enterprise to defray the costs of providing the business services specified in sections 30-20-1404 and 30-20-1405 to consumers who ultimately pay the enterprise fee, which enterprise fee is imposed at rates that are reasonably calculated based on the cost of providing the services needed by those consumers;

(i) So long as the enterprise qualifies as an enterprise for the purposes of section 20 of article X of the state constitution, the revenue from the waste tire enterprise fee collected by the enterprise is not state fiscal year spending, as defined in section 24-77-102 (17), or state revenues, as defined in section 24-77-103.6 (6)(c), and does not count against either the state fiscal year spending limit imposed by section 20 of article X of the state constitution or the excess state revenues cap, as defined in section 24-77-103.6 (6)(b)(I); and

(j) The enterprise created in this part 14 is necessary to continue Colorado's management of waste tires and provide incentives to local governments; for-profit waste tire management, recycling, and reuse companies; and other organizations that are involved in waste tire recycling, beneficial reuse, and management.

(2) (a) The commission, in consultation with the enterprise, shall promulgate rules for the implementation and enforcement of sections 30-20-1403, 30-20-1404, and 30-20-1405, as applicable.

(b) The commission, in consultation with the department, shall promulgate rules for the implementation and enforcement of sections 30-20-1403 and 30-20-1405.5 and other sections of this part 14, as applicable.

(3) The department shall enforce this part 14 through its enforcement authorities, including those specified in sections 30-20-113 and 30-20-114.

(4) After tires are used for their original intended purpose, they must be used beneficially, recycled, or reused; except that, if authorized by section 30-20-1414 (1)(b), they may be disposed of at a permitted solid waste facility. Because they can be reused, remanufactured, reclaimed, or recycled, waste tires are a recyclable material as defined in section 30-20-101 (4). As recyclable materials, waste tires must be collected, managed, and transported in accordance with the manifest system required by section 30-20-1417 (2) and recycled into tire-derived product, thereby being transformed from a recyclable material into a new product. The department shall consider tires that have been collected under a tire collection program registered pursuant to section 30-20-1411 to have been managed under an approved established tire collection program for purposes of the federal commercial industrial solid waste incinerator rules, 40 CFR part 60 subparts CCCC and DDDD.

Any amount of tax levy not previously established by resolution nor previously approved by the electors must be authorized by a vote of the electors of that cemetery district.
C.R.S. § 30-28-140 — CO Code / Title 30 / Article 28 / Part 1 / Section 30-28-140
30-28-140. Parking and electric vehicle charging stations - legislative declaration
Status: reserved

30-28-140. Parking and electric vehicle charging stations - legislative declaration. (1) (a) The general assembly finds that:

(I) Colorado has adopted economy-wide greenhouse gas emission goals of, at minimum, a twenty-six percent reduction by 2025, a fifty percent reduction by 2030, and a ninety percent reduction by 2050;

(II) The governor's "Colorado Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap", released on January 14, 2021, identifies transportation as a leading source of greenhouse gas pollution and identifies vehicle electrification as a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas pollution from the transportation sector;

(III) Motor vehicle pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions, does not stay within the geographic boundaries of the local government where it is emitted;

(IV) According to the United States department of energy, an electric vehicle produces an average of less than one-fourth of the emissions over its lifetime than the average emissions of a motor vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine;

(V) Sales of electric vehicles currently account for more than ten percent of all new vehicle sales in Colorado, and this market share is projected to increase to more than eighty percent by 2032;

(VI) Buildings constructed today will need to accommodate higher numbers of electric vehicles within the lifetime of these buildings;

(VII) People may forgo purchasing or driving an electric vehicle because they are concerned about the availability of charging stations;

(VIII) Local government provisions that set minimum requirements for parking may create a disincentive to install charging stations if a parking space served by a charging station is not counted toward meeting the minimum parking requirement; and

(IX) Fewer charging stations act as a disincentive to purchase or drive an electric vehicle.

(b) The general assembly declares that minimum parking requirements, to the degree that they lower the number of charging stations available to electric vehicle drivers, decrease electric vehicle use, which causes more pollutants to be emitted into the environment and lowers the air quality of other local government jurisdictions and Colorado as a whole. Therefore, minimum parking requirements are a matter of mixed local and statewide concern to the degree that they lower the number of charging stations available to electric vehicle drivers.

(2) For the purposes of any minimum parking requirement imposed by a board of county commissioners:

(a) Any parking space served by an electric vehicle charging station or any parking space used to site electric vehicle charging equipment must be counted as at least one standard automobile parking space; and

(b) Any van-accessible parking space that is designed to accommodate a person in a wheelchair, is served by an electric vehicle charging station, and is not designated as parking reserved for a person with a disability under section 42-4-1208 must be counted as at least two standard automobile parking spaces.

(3) This section does not lower the protections provided for people with disabilities, including the number of parking spaces for people that are mobility impaired, than the protections provided by the federal "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990", 42 U.S.C. sec. 12101 et seq., and parts 6 and 8 of article 34 of title 24.

Status: in_force

30-20-610. Assessment constitutes a lien - filing with county clerk and recorder - corrections. (1) All assessments made in pursuance of this part 6, together with all interest thereon and penalties for default in payment thereof, and all costs in collecting the same shall constitute, from the effective date of the assessing resolution, a perpetual lien in the several amounts assessed against each lot or tract of land and shall have priority over all other liens excepting general tax liens. As to any subdivisions of any land assessed in pursuance of this part 6, the assessment lien may be apportioned by the board in such manner, if any, as may be provided in the assessing resolution.

(2) The county clerk and recorder shall file with his office copies of the assessing resolution after its final adoption by the board for recording on the land records of each lot or tract of land assessed within the county, as provided in article 30, article 35, or article 36 of title 38, C.R.S. In addition, the county clerk and recorder shall file copies of such assessing resolution after its final adoption by the board with the county assessor and the county treasurer.

When so remedied, the same shall take effect as of the date of the original filing, act, or proceeding. If in any court of competent jurisdiction any final assessment made in pursuance of this part 6 is set aside or if for any other reason the board determines it to be necessary to alter any final assessment made pursuant to this part 6, the board, upon notice as required in the making of an original assessment, may make a new assessment in accordance with the provisions of this part 6.

(4) To provide for unanticipated increases in the costs of improvements, the amount of any assessment imposed before the completion of the related improvements may be increased to a total amount not in excess of the special benefit conferred upon the affected property if, not more than ninety days following the completion of such improvements, the board gives notice of its intent to consider the amendment of such assessment, stating the time and place that a public hearing shall be held thereon, and holds such public hearing, in the same manner as provided for hearings held pursuant to sections 30-20-608 and 30-20-609. At the conclusion of such public hearing, the board may determine whether to amend one or more assessments within a district. Any such amendment shall take effect as of the date of the original assessment.

(5) If, as the result of any subdivision, resubdivision, vacation of right-of-way, or other action taken subsequent to the adoption of the assessment resolution, any new lot or parcel is created within a district, the board may, without a public hearing and with the consent of the owner of the new lot or parcel, modify the assessment resolution to reapportion all or any part of the total amount assessed in the district to such new lot or parcel.

Status: in_force

30-10-306.3. Criteria for determination of county commissioner districts - definition. (1) In adopting a county commissioner district redistricting plan, the commission shall:

(a) Make a good-faith effort to achieve mathematical population equality between districts, as required by the constitution of the United States, but in no event shall there be more than five percent deviation between the most populous and the least populous district in each county, at the time such district boundaries are adopted; and

(b) Comply with the federal "Voting Rights Act of 1965", 52 U.S.C. sec. 10301, as amended.

(2) (a) As much as is reasonably possible, the commission's plan must preserve whole communities of interest and whole political subdivisions, such as cities and towns; except that a division of such city or town is permitted where, based on a preponderance of the evidence in the record, a community of interest's legislative issues are more essential to the fair and effective representation of residents of the district. When the commission divides a city or town, it shall minimize the number of divisions of that city or town.

(b) Districts must be as compact as is reasonably possible.

(3) (a) Thereafter, the commission shall, to the extent reasonably possible, maximize the number of politically competitive districts.

(b) In its hearings in various locations in the county, the commission shall solicit evidence relevant to competitiveness of elections in the county and shall assess such evidence in evaluating proposed plans.

(c) When the commission approves a plan, the staff or advisory committee shall, within seventy-two hours of such action, make publicly available, and include in the commission's record, a report to demonstrate how the plan reflects the evidence presented to, and the findings concerning, the extent to which competitiveness in district elections is fostered consistent with the other criteria set forth in this section.

(d) For purposes of this subsection (3), "competitive" means having a reasonable potential for the party affiliation of the district's county commissioner to change at least once between federal decennial censuses. Competitiveness may be measured by factors such as a proposed district's past election results, a proposed district's political party registration data, and evidence-based analyses of proposed districts.

(4) No plan may be approved by the board of county commissioners or the commission if the plan:

(a) Has been drawn for the purpose of protecting one or more incumbent members, or one or more declared candidates, of the board of county commissioners, or any political party; or

(b) Has been drawn for the purpose of or results in the denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen to vote on account of that person's race or membership in a language minority group, including diluting the impact of that racial or language minority group's electoral influence.

(5) So long as the commission has complied with the requirements of subsections (1) through (4) of this section, in adopting a county commissioner redistricting plan, the commission may consider congressional districts, state house of representative districts, and state senate districts in order to minimize the number of necessary voting precincts in a county.

(2) In the sale of reserved oil and gas rights under any tract of land, the number of acres contained in any one parcel or unit of sale of such rights shall not exceed the total number of acres of such surface land sold by the county to the purchaser thereof at the time of reservation therefrom of the oil and gas rights thus offered for sale. Nothing contained in this section shall prevent a county from selling any number of such units or parcels at any public sale. The board of county commissioners has the right to reject any and all bids.

Leases of any such mineral rights made or entered into by the board in conformity with the provisions of this section prior to February 25, 1955, are hereby confirmed, validated, and declared to be legal and valid insofar as the authority of any such board is concerned.
