On March 9, 2012, Rep. Don Coram and Sen. Ellen Roberts introduced HB 12-1323 – Concerning the Associate Judge for Montrose County. This summary is published here courtesy of the Colorado Bar Association’s e-Legislative Report.

Under current law, the associate county judge for Montrose County must have his or her official residence in the portion of Montrose County that is in the southwestern water conservation district. The bill repeals the requirement the associate county judge for Montrose County must have his or her official residence in the portion of Montrose County that is in the southwestern water conservation district and instead requires the associate county judge to have his or her residence within Montrose County and court chambers in the city of Nucla. The bill passed out of the legislature on April 3. The bill now moves through the enrolling process at the legislature then it is off to the Governor’s desk for signature.

Since this summary, the bill was signed by the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate and awaits the Governor’s signature.
