C.R.S. Section 24-56-101
Legislative declaration

relocation assistance

The general assembly finds and declares that the purpose of sections 24-56-102 to 24-56-113 is to establish a uniform policy for the fair and equitable treatment of persons displaced by the acquisition of real property by state agencies and political subdivisions of the state for federally assisted programs and projects and to comply with the federal “Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970”, as amended, and the federal “Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987”, as amended. The general assembly also recognizes that the federally assisted acquisition of real property by the department of transportation and by municipalities and counties for highway programs and projects is requiring citizens to relocate their residences, farms, and businesses. The general assembly finds and declares that the authority of the department of transportation concerning the equitable relocation and implementation of relocation payments and advisory assistance for highway projects on the state highway system contained in part 3 of article 1 of title 43, C.R.S., prior to March 31, 1989, and as amended, are included in this article to assure the consistent and uniform application of relocation policy for all federally assisted programs, to promote the efficient operation of the highway right-of-way acquisition program, and to define the authority and responsibility of the department of transportation and of municipalities and counties for all acquisitions and relocation for federally assisted highway programs and projects within their respective jurisdictions. Such policy shall be uniform as to relocation payments, advisory assistance, assurance of availability of standard housing, and state reimbursement for local relocation payments where state assistance may be authorized by law.
