ANNOTATION   The presumption that statutes apply prospectively is overcome here because subsection (1) expressly provides for application to all common interest communities created before July 1, 1992. Giguere v. SJS Family Enters., 155 P.3d 462 (Colo. App. 2006).   Although subsection (1) does not list several statutory sections as applying to common interest communities created before July 1, 1992, some sections not listed may be referenced to determine whether the statute permits the substantive result to be accomplished by an amendment because the sections listed in subsection (1) are limited to procedural issues.
