§ 14-15-111 — When civil union licenses issued - validity

The county clerk and
recorder shall issue a civil union license only during the hours that the office of the
county clerk and recorder is open as prescribed by law and at no other time and
shall show the exact date and hour of the license's issue. New civil union licenses
issued pursuant to section 14-2-110 (3)(a) must show the date and hour of issuance
of the new license, but the effective date of the civil union is the date listed on the
original civil union license. New civil union licenses issued pursuant to section 14-2-110 (3)(a) are valid. A civil union license is not valid for use outside the state of
Colorado. Within the state, a civil union license is not valid for more than thirty-five
days after the date of issue. If a civil union license is not used within thirty-five days,
it is void, and one of the parties shall return the civil union license to the county
clerk and recorder that issued the license for cancellation.
