38	35		Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material to be added to existing law.
39	36		Dashes through the words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law. sections, and articles, parts, and sections often have definitions
40	37		provisions. For parts and articles, readers expect to find those definitions
41	38		at the beginning of each part or article.
42	39		However, a number of definitions are "hidden" in the statutes,
43	40		meaning a definition for an entire article, part, or title is not in a
44	41		definitions section. Instead, the definition is one sentence of many in a
45	42		section within the part or article. The purpose of the bill is to "unhide"
46	43		these definitions by moving them into definitions sections where readers
47	44		would expect to, and can more easily, find them.
48	45		In the bill, when a term is defined for a part or article and the term,
49	46		in current law, is in its own subdivision, that entire provision is relocated
50	47		to a new or existing definitions section. For example, section 4 of the bill
51	48		relocates the definition of "student election judge" from section 1-6-101
52	49		(7)(b), Colorado Revised Statutes, to a newly created definitions section
53	50		for article 6 of title 1, Colorado Revised Statutes. When a provision is
54	51		relocated to a new or existing definitions section, the language in the
55	52		current provision must be repealed, so that the 2 references don't
56	53		simultaneously exist in statute. Section 338 repeals all the relocated
57	54		provisions in the bill.
58	55		When a term or phrase is defined for a part or article and the term
59	56		in current law is embedded within another provision, the phrase
60	57		containing the defined term is removed from that provision and the term
61	58		is added to:
62	59		! A newly created definitions section for that part or article;
63	60		or
64	61		! An existing definitions section for that part or article.
65	62		In a very few instances, when definitions were moved, conforming
66	63		amendments were needed, meaning that a reference to that definition in
67	64		another section of law needed to be deleted or updated to reference the
68	65		new definitions section. Sections 5, 6, 13, 29, 31, 128, 157, 182, 183,
69	66		206, 207, 218, 274, 279, and 292 are conforming amendments.
