# Colorado HB 19-1246 (2019A) — Local Government Regulation Of Food Trucks

Regulation of food trucks - study. The act recognizes that food trucks are a fast-growing part of the Colorado economy, and that because food trucks are inherently mobile and operate in multiple locations, the regulation of food trucks at the local level creates unique issues requiring further study. State and regional organizations representing local government may study the regulation of food trucks to identify areas of duplicate or conflicting regulation. The organizations may report to the business affairs and labor committee of the house and the business, labor, and technology committee of the senate on any findings or recommendations, including recommendations for future legislative solutions, by November 1, 2019.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
