The Colorado Bar has concerns, but they’ve been told Washington has had no issues with their law. Their concern with the Colorado bill is that it is a de facto eviction statute without court process. They’re trying to get a sense whether their legislators’ reliance on what they’ve heard about Washington is well-founded.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Is anyone here familiar at all with the bill and/or know of any issues that had come up, legal challenges to its constitutionality, or any other information about how the process is actually working?
