HB 11-1020 UPDATE - Prelien statute referred to Legislative Committee

On March 3, 2011 the House Economic and Business Development Committee on a 13-0 vote, referred HB 11-1020 - Colorado's proposed amendment to its prelien statute - to a Legislative Committee for further study.  The legislative committee will meet over the summer, study the issue and a revised bill will be presented in the 2012 Legislative Session.  Jean Arnold.

Debt Collection Litigation and Post-Judgment Enforcement

In the present economy, debt collection and post-judgment enforcement are popular topics in the legal field.  Too many people think going after a debt right now is a lost cause.  Fear not, there are many options available in our legal system that facilitate the collection of a debt or judgment.  There are also many creative solutions to collecting on a judgment from defendants that you believe are judgment proof. 

Partners Jean C. Arnold and Terry Ehrlich will walk everyone through debt collection litigation and post-judgment enforcement on April 25, 2011 with Onsager, Staelin, & Guyerson, LLC's Christian C. Onsager at an NBI Seminar.

HB 11-1020 Colorado Prelien Statute

 I attended the meeting this morning to discuss the Utah model for the State Construction Registry.  There was a presentation by Colorado Interactive whose parent company handles the Utah portal and online State Construction Registry.  The presentation raised more questions – fee and cost concerns.

The group consensus was to refer the matter for further study over the summer with legislation to be introduced next session.  An amendment L008 is being drafted to accomplish this.  Meetings – with legislative participation – would occur after this session recesses at the end of June.  This issue is not “going away,” but all agreed more study was necessary to appreciate the cost vs. benefit.
