The general
assembly finds and declares that the purpose of sections 24-56-102 to 24-56-113 is
to establish a uniform policy for the fair and equitable treatment of persons
displaced by the acquisition of real property by state agencies and political
subdivisions of the state for federally assisted programs and projects and to
comply with the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and the federal Surface
Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, as amended. The
general assembly also recognizes that the federally assisted acquisition of real
property by the department of transportation and by municipalities and counties for
highway programs and projects is requiring citizens to relocate their residences,
farms, and businesses. The general assembly finds and declares that the authority
of the department of transportation concerning the equitable relocation and
implementation of relocation payments and advisory assistance for highway
projects on the state highway system contained in part 3 of article 1 of title 43,
C.R.S., prior to March 31, 1989, and as amended, are included in this article to assure
the consistent and uniform application of relocation policy for all federally assisted
programs, to promote the efficient operation of the highway right-of-way
acquisition program, and to define the authority and responsibility of the
department of transportation and of municipalities and counties for all acquisitions
and relocation for federally assisted highway programs and projects within their
respective jurisdictions. Such policy shall be uniform as to relocation payments,
advisory assistance, assurance of availability of standard housing, and state
reimbursement for local relocation payments where state assistance may be
authorized by law.
