2021 Colorado Code|Title 32 - Special Districts|Article 1 - Special District Provisions|Part 14 - Composition or Adjustment of Indebtedness of Local Taxing Districts|§ 32-1-1401. Legislative Declaration

 The general assembly hereby declares this part 14 to be necessary in order to provide for the orderly and equitable payment of the obligations of local taxing districts organized under the provisions of this article, which payment may be effected by a plan of adjustment of the debts of such taxing districts under the federal bankruptcy law.

 The general assembly hereby finds and declares that special districts are political subdivisions and instrumentalities of the state of Colorado and local governments thereof.

The general assembly further finds that this part 16 is necessary to protect the credit reputation of local governments of this state, to restore confidence of investors in local government obligations, and to protect owners of residential real property within special districts.

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   It is the policy of the state of Colorado to encourage public contracting procedures that encourage competition, openness, and impartiality to the maximum extent possible.    Competition exists not only in the costs of goods and services, but in the technical competence of the providers and suppliers in their ability to make timely completion and delivery and in the quality and performance of their products and services.    Timely and effective completion of public projects can be achieved through a variety of methods when procuring goods and services for public projects.    In enacting this part 18, the general assembly intends to establish for special districts and agencies of special districts an optional alternative public project delivery method.        History.
