Colo. Rev. Stat. § 33-3-103

Current through 11/5/2024 election
Section 33-3-103 - No liability for damage - when
(1) The state shall not be liable for:
(a) Damage to livestock caused by coyotes, bobcats, or dogs. It is the intent of the general assembly that the division shall use whatever proper means are available to effectively minimize depredation to livestock by coyotes and bobcats.
(b) Damage to motor vehicles caused by wildlife;
(c) Injury to or the death of any person caused by wildlife;
(d) Damages, if the division has furnished to the claimant sufficient and appropriate damage prevention materials and the claimant has refused to accept or use such materials exclusively for game damage prevention, and if the provisions of section 33-3-103.5 have been complied with by the division and the claimant;
(e) Damages, if the claimant has willfully failed to maintain damage prevention materials throughout the normal life of such materials, and such materials have not been damaged or destroyed by wildlife;
(f) Damages caused by wildlife if the claimant has unreasonably restricted hunting on land under his control or has unreasonably restricted passage to other land by restricting access across land under his control. In determining whether or not there has been an unreasonable restriction on hunting or availability of access by the claimant, the division shall consider only whether or not such restriction has significantly and adversely reduced a necessary harvest of wildlife.
(g) Damages caused by wildlife, if claimant charges a fee in excess of five hundred dollars per person, per season, for the purpose of big game hunting access on or across claimant's property.
(2) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2009, (SB 09-024), ch. 1723, p. 1723, § 1, effective June 1, 2009.)
