Colorado Noxious Weed Act

The act governs the control of noxious weeds, establishing a general duty to manage designated weed species on private lands, public lands, and public rights-of-way, and prohibiting their intentional introduction, cultivation, or sale. It provides for official designation of noxious weeds and treats infestations as a public nuisance, with eradication responsibilities allocated among landowners and government bodies and with coordination between state, county, and federal agencies. Administration runs through a state weed coordinator, a state advisory committee, and local advisory boards, backed by rulemaking authority, a dedicated management fund alongside county funding, and civil penalties for noncompliance.
