2021 Colorado Code|Title 29 - Government - Local|Article 1 - Budget and Services|Part 12 - Prohibition of Local Limits on the Frequency of Religious Meetings in Homes|§ 29-1-1201. Legislative Declaration - Matter of Statewide Concern

 The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that the imposition of restrictions by a local government upon when or how often individuals may meet upon private residential property to pray, worship, or otherwise study or discuss issues relating to religious beliefs infringes upon the fundamental right to the free exercise of religion. The general assembly further finds and declares that such restrictions are of significant interest to people living outside the jurisdiction of the local government. In addition, the ability of individuals to freely determine when and how often they wish to meet for such purposes should be uniform throughout the state. Accordingly, the general assembly finds that restrictions that specifically limit when or how often individuals may meet upon private residential property to pray, worship, or otherwise study or discuss issues relating to religious beliefs are a matter of statewide concern and the provisions of this section shall preempt any provisions of any local government ordinance, resolution, regulation, or other restriction to the contrary.

  The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that:   It is imperative that the local government procurement process be free from bias so that all qualified persons and entities may compete for local government business;    A fair procurement process not only ensures justice and fairness in local government contracting but broadens the procurement contractor pool, which results in efficiencies and, as warranted, promotes the growth of historically underutilized businesses, thereby creating jobs and stimulating the local government's economy; and    Establishing a pilot project to identify the perceptual and substantial barriers to entry for historically underutilized businesses in local government procurement is the appropriate way to start this conversation at the state government level.
