These figures come from our state requirements registry. We hold no statutory citation for Colorado yet, and nobody has checked the figures above against a statute text; we would rather say so than invent one. Requirements change — confirm with your district before relying on them. See what we hold for Colorado, open it in the checker, or read how we source this.
