2021 Colorado Code|Title 6 - Consumer and Commercial Affairs|Article 7.5 - Water and Energy Efficiency Standards|§ 6-7.5-108. Utility Programs During Transition Period

  Should one or more products described in this article 7.5 be subject to withdrawal, repeal, or other actions that declare a federal standard invalid as described in section 6-7.5-107, the public utilities commission shall permit a three-year phaseout for a utility operating energy efficiency programs that create incentives for or otherwise encourage the use of high-efficiency versions of the affected products. This phaseout shall commence on or after the date specified in section 6-7.5-105; shall apply only to energy savings that will be mandated under this article 7.5; shall occur in equal reductions for each transition year; and must permit an orderly adjustment of the appliance or lighting market to ensure that residents and businesses in Colorado are not negatively affected by changes in product selection, business practices, and energy efficiency program opportunities related to the affected appliances or lighting products.    For products listed in this article 7.5 that are not subject to withdrawal or repeal, the public utilities commission shall allow at least a one-year transition for utility-sponsored energy efficiency programs starting on or after the date specified in section 6-7.5-105.

  Unless a product appears in a public database of compliant products maintained by other states or federal agencies with equivalent or more stringent efficiency standards, the manufacturers of products covered by this article 7.5 shall demonstrate that the products comply with this article 7.5 by doing any one or more of the following:   Submitting test sample results to the executive director, using test methods and procedures adopted pursuant to this article 7.5;    Affixing a mark, label, or tag to the product and packaging at the time of sale or installation that demonstrates compliance with other state or federal agencies that have equivalent or more stringent efficiency standards; or    Submitting such other proof as the executive director may deem appropriate to show that the product complies with equivalent or more stringent efficiency standards adopted by other states or federal agencies.       The executive director may adopt rules as necessary to ensure the proper implementation and enforcement of this article 7.5.     History.

  A person shall not sell or offer to sell any new consumer product that is required to meet a standard established in this article 7.5 but that the person knows does not meet that standard.    Whenever the attorney general has probable cause to believe that any person or group of persons has violated or caused another to violate subsection (1) of this section, the attorney general may bring a civil action on behalf of the state to seek the imposition of civil penalties as follows:   Any person who violates or causes another to violate subsection (1) of this section shall forfeit and pay to the general fund of this state a civil penalty of not more than two thousand dollars for each such violation. For purposes of this subsection (2)(a), a violation constitutes a separate violation with respect to each consumer or transaction involved; except that the maximum civil penalty shall not exceed five hundred thousand dollars for any related series of violations.    Any person who violates or causes another to violate any provision of this article 7.5, where such violation was committed against an elderly person, shall forfeit and pay to the general fund of the state a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars for each such violation. For purposes of this subsection (2)(b), a violation of this section constitutes a separate violation with respect to each elderly person involved.        History.

CO Code § 6-10-105 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 6 - Consumer and Commercial Affairs|Article 10 - Assignments in General|§ 6-10-105. Assent of Creditors Presumed

 When an assignment of property for the benefit of all the creditors of the assignor is made, the assent of the creditors shall be presumed.   History. Source: L. 1897: P. 95, § 5. R.S. 08: § 178. C.L. § 6245. CSA: C. 12, § 5. CRS 53: § 11-1-5 . C.R.S. 1963: § 11-1-5 .    ANNOTATION   Annotator's note. Cases material to § 6-10-105 decided prior to its earliest source, L. 1897, p. 95 , § 5, have been included in the annotations to this section.   This section is simply declaratory of preexisting law. Spangler v. Sanborn, 7 Colo. App. 102, 43 P. 905 (1895).   Without it there would be the same presumption of the assent of the creditors. Spangler v. Sanborn, 7 Colo. App. 102, 43 P. 905 (1895).   The presumption of assent contemplated in this section obtains only in cases where no affirmative act on the part of the creditor evidences an intention to repudiate, or not to assent to, the assignment. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   It is a prima facie presumption merely that may be overcome by evidence to the contrary. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   So it is not compulsory upon a creditor to assent to an assignment made for his benefit in common with other creditors. Beifeld v. Martin, 4 Colo. App. 578, 37 P. 32 (1894).   His right to a proportionate share of the assets depends upon such assent. Beifeld v. Martin, 4 Colo. App. 578, 37 P. 32 (1894).   Creditor's refusal to assent may be inferred if he has knowledge of assignment. The right of any creditor to participate in the benefits of the assignment depends upon his assent to such assignment, and his refusal to assent thereto may be inferred from his acts, but such inference can be drawn only from acts of the creditor done with the knowledge that an assignment had been made, or at least that it was in contemplation. Nat'l Bank of Commerce v. Graham, 16 Colo. App. 498, 66 P. 684 (1901).   Where one has no actual knowledge or notice of the execution of a deed of assignment, even though the deed is filed for record, it follows that one has no constructive notice of the execution of such deed. Nat'l Bank of Commerce v. Graham, 16 Colo. App. 498, 66 P. 684 (1901).   Moreover, this section does not prevent creditors from bringing action against the debtor or require those seeking to participate in the distribution of the estate to stipulate for his discharge. In re Carlson's for Music, Inc. v. Gould, 176 Colo. 172 , 489 P.2d 1038 (1971).
CO Code § 6-10-106 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 6 - Consumer and Commercial Affairs|Article 10 - Assignments in General|§ 6-10-106. Inventory Filed Where - Bond

 The assignee shall file with the clerk of the district court of the county in which such deed of assignment is recorded a true and complete inventory and valuation of the property of the said assignor, under oath, so far as the same has come to his knowledge, within a period not to exceed six days from the date of the filing of the deed of assignment; and shall make and file a bond to the state of Colorado, for the use of the creditors in double the amount of the inventory and valuation, with sureties to be approved by such clerk for the faithful performance of said trust and for a full and complete accounting for and of all property that may come into his hands as such assignee. Such assignee has no authority to sell or dispose of, or convert to the purposes of the trust any part of such estate, until he has complied with the provisions of this section.   History. Source: L. 1897: P. 95, § 6. R.S. 08: § 179. C.L. § 6246. CSA: C. 12, § 6. CRS 53: § 11-1-6 . C.R.S. 1963: § 11-1-6 . L. 64: P. 206, § 8.    ANNOTATION   The assignee after filing his bond, etc., as required by this section thereupon becomes an officer of the court. Flint v. Powell, 10 Colo. App. 66, 50 P. 45 (1897).   When the assignee does not file the inventory he is not an assignee and the deed to him is void. Kinney v. Yoelin Bros. Mercantile Co., 76 Colo. 136 , 230 P. 127 (1924).   The assignee then becomes a mere agent with authority to sell, and his possession and acts are the possession and acts of his principal. Kinney v. Yoelin Bros. Mercantile Co., 76 Colo. 136 , 230 P. 127 (1924).   Nonetheless, assignment is act of bankruptcy though assignee does not qualify. The fact that an assignee never qualified under the assignment or gave a bond as required by this section does not prevent the general assignment from being an act of bankruptcy. Moore v. Yampa Mercantile Co., 287 F. 629 (8th Cir. 1923).
CO Code § 6-10-107 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 6 - Consumer and Commercial Affairs|Article 10 - Assignments in General|§ 6-10-107. Assignee an Officer of Court

 An assignee named and qualified under this article shall be deemed to be an officer of court. Any interference with the assignee in the discharge of his duties is contempt of court, and no suit against the assignee in relation to or concerning the property assigned shall be instituted against the assignee without first obtaining permission of the court within and for the county in which the assignment is made.   History. Source: L. 1897: P. 95, § 7. R.S. 08: § 180. C.L. § 6247. CSA: C. 12, § 7. CRS 53: § 11-1-7 . C.R.S. 1963: § 11-1-7 .    ANNOTATION   An assignee is an officer of the court and responsible for an accounting to the court, the debtors, and the debtor's creditors. People v. Radinsky, 176 Colo. 357 , 490 P.2d 951 (1971).   Subject to court supervision. The assignee is, in respect of the property in his hands, at all times subject to the order and supervision of the court or its judge. Taub v. McClelland-Colt Comm'n Co., 10 Colo. App. 190, 51 P. 168 (1897).   When and how an assignee may be proceeded against in relation to the property or its proceeds is in the discretion of the court, and there can be no interference with that discretion unless in case of its abuse. Taub v. McClelland-Colt Comm'n Co., 10 Colo. App. 190, 51 P. 168 (1897).   And where a creditor seizes property which a debtor has assigned to the court, the proper remedy is a citation for contempt under this section. In re Carlson's for Music, Inc. v. Gould, 176 Colo. 172 , 489 P.2d 1038 (1971).
CO Code § 6-10-108 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 6 - Consumer and Commercial Affairs|Article 10 - Assignments in General|§ 6-10-108. Notice of Assignment of Realty

 Where real property or any interest therein is by deed conveyed to the assignee, the assignee shall forthwith file with the clerk and recorder of each county where the real estate is situated a notice of the assignment, containing the names of the assignor and assignee, the date of the deed of assignment, when and where recorded, and a description of the property in that county affected thereby, and the same shall be constructive notice to a purchaser or encumbrancer of the transfer of the property in said county, described in such notice.   History. Source: L. 1897: P. 96, § 8. R.S. 08: § 181. C.L. § 6248. CSA: C. 12, § 8. CRS 53: § 11-1-8 . C.R.S. 1963: § 11-1-8 .    ANNOTATION   Annotator's note. Cases material to § 6-10-108 decided prior to its earliest source, L. 1897, p. 96 , § 8, have been included in the annotations to this section.   The method prescribed by this section must be pursued. Spangler v. Sanborn, 7 Colo. App. 102, 43 P. 905 (1895).   In the absence of the statutory notice, bona fide purchasers and encumbrancers will be protected. Spangler v. Sanborn, 7 Colo. App. 102, 43 P. 905 (1895).   Otherwise, title would vest upon delivery. The deed of the assignor, like the deed of any grantor, conveys the legal title to the property and would, but for this section, vest such title in the assignee upon its delivery. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   This section in making its record essential to vest title, as well as to constitute constructive notice, gives it the same, and no more, force than any other deed would have when recorded in the county wherein the real estate is situated. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   Hence, property situated in other counties, notwithstanding the title is vested in the assignee, is subject to sale and encumbrance until the notice prescribed is filed with the clerk and recorder of such counties. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   It conclusively follows, therefore, that the mere vesting of title in the assignee as to such property does not, ipso facto, place it in custodia legis. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   The word “encumbrancer” is employed in this section in its broad and general sense and embraces every class of encumbrancers and every class of encumbrances. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   Whether by contract or by statute. The encumbrance may be created by contract or it may be acquired in pursuance of some statute. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   Thus, a lien or charge upon land, which binds it for the payment of a debt, is an encumbrance, and the holder of the lien is an encumbrancer. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).   Equal to mortgage. The lien of an attaching creditor is an encumbrance equally with a mortgage. Thatcher v. Valentine, 22 Colo. 201 , 43 P. 1031 (1896).

2021 Colorado Code|Title 6 - Consumer and Commercial Affairs|Article 10 - Assignments in General|§ 6-10-109. Priority of Claims - Notice

 The assignee shall forthwith give notice of such assignment by publication for four weeks in some newspaper in the county, if any, and if none, then in the nearest county thereto. The assignee shall also forthwith send a notice by mail to each creditor of whom he shall be informed, directed to his usual place of residence, stating the estimate of the aggregate value of all the property of the assignor, the estimate of the amount of his liabilities, and notifying each creditor to present his claim, under oath, to the assignee within three months from the mailing of such notice. It is the duty of each creditor to present his claim in the manner and within the time mentioned in the notice. Claims filed within the first three months shall have priority over those filed thereafter, unless a creditor can show, to the satisfaction of the court, that he never received the notice. Proof of notice by mail shall be made by affidavit by the assignee giving a list of creditors and the name of the post office where notice was sent within ten days after the mailing of the same. Proof of the notice by publication shall be made by affidavit of the printer or publisher within ten days after the last publication or no fees shall be allowed the assignee for such notice by mail or publication.   History. Source: L. 1897: P. 96, § 9. R.S. 08: § 182. C.L. § 6249. CSA: C. 12, § 9. CRS 53: § 11-1-9 . C.R.S. 1963: § 11-1-9 .    Cross references:   For clarification of publication terms, see § 24-70-106 .   ANNOTATION   An assignee is an officer of the court and responsible for an accounting to the court, the debtors, and the debtor's creditors. People v. Radinsky, 176 Colo. 357 , 490 P.2d 951 (1971).   However, creditor presumed to see notice. The published notice of the assignment may never fall under a particular creditor's observation, and he may therefore be without actual information of the fact; but the presumption is otherwise, and upon this presumption or constructive notice, the presumption of assent under § 6-10-105 is based. Spangler v. Sanborn, 7 Colo. App. 102, 43 P. 905 (1896).   Where it is obviously impossible that the required notice should have been given between the time of filing the deed for record and at the time of the levy of an attachment, with an attaching creditor having no knowledge or notice of the assignment, there is then, on his part, no assent in fact, and nothing from which the law would presume his assent. His levy is therefore not attended by the impediment of a presumptive assent, and is not invalidated by anything contained in § 6-10-105 . Spangler v. Sanborn, 7 Colo. App. 102, 43 P. 905 (1896).

He shall also file a statement of all his proceedings with reference to the trust, showing what money has come into his hands and all the disbursements thereof.   History.

The clerk shall immediately cause notice thereof to be given to the creditor which shall be served and returned as in the case of a summons.

 If no exception is made to a claim filed or if the claim has been favorably adjudicated, the court shall enter judgment in favor of the creditor and against the assignor for the amount claimed and found due, and order the assignee to make from time to time fair and equal dividends among the creditors, of the assets in his hands, in proportion to their respective claims, and as soon as may be, to render a full account of said trust to the court. The court may allow such compensation or commissions, following as nearly as possible the compensation allowed executors for like services, as may be just and right.   History.
