# Colorado SB 23-204 (2023A) — Correct Erroneous Property Tax Exemption End Date

Due to a defective statutory date reference, a property tax exemption for agricultural equipment that is used in any controlled environment agricultural facility was going to be in effect for 6 years instead of the 5 years intended by the general assembly when it enacted the property tax exemption. The act corrects the defective date reference so that the exemption will only be in effect for 5 years.
