About State Statutes:
C.R.S. is an abbreviation for Colorado Revised Statutes. The laws in the Colorado Revised Statutes are passed by the Colorado General Assembly, which consists of the Colorado House of Representatives and the Colorado Senate.
The Colorado Constitution places the power to make laws with the state legislature, the Colorado General Assembly. The General Assembly is comprised of 100 elected officials—65 Representatives and 35 Senators. The legislature’s power to make laws is exercised through the process of considering and adopting bills. A bill generally either creates new law, amends existing law, or repeals existing law. The C.R.S. are made available for public use by the Committee on Legal Services of the Colorado General Assembly through LexisNexis.
