No municipality, city, home rule city, city and county, county, or other political subdivision of the state shall adopt or enforce any requirement more stringent than the provisions of this part 2.

The limitation in subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to any municipality, city, home rule city, city and county, county, or other political subdivision of the state which has received an exemption from the committee created in section 8-20.5-104.
