# Colorado SB 25-061 (2025A) — Federally Recognized Tribes & Construction of Laws
|
||

||
Current Colorado laws do not always expressly provide whether the laws apply to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe or the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (Tribes). The act creates a rule of construction that a law does not apply to the Tribes unless the law clearly and expressly states that the law applies to the Tribes.
