ANNOTATION

Failure to cite most recent compilation. While the convenience of all concerned might better be served by citation of the most recent compilation, failure to do so is not fatal to driver's license suspension proceedings. Johnson v. Motor Vehicle Div., 38 Colo. App. 230, 556 P.2d 488 (1976).

Extent of adoption by reference. When a statute adopts precise provisions of another statute by specific reference, the adoption is considered to refer to the specific provisions contained in that other statute at the time of the adoption. In re Arrington v. Arrington, 618 P.2d 744 (Colo. App. 1980).

No presumption of permanent reference implied in reference by general terms. When the adoptive statute refers to another statute by general terms, no presumption of permanent reference is implied. In re Arrington v. Arrington, 618 P.2d 744 (Colo. App. 1980).
