- The general assembly finds and declares:
- The courts of this state are overworked and subject to overloaded dockets;
- Section 6 of article II of the Colorado constitution guarantees citizens of this state access to the courts of this state; and
- Cases filed by nonresidents of Colorado and having no meaningful relationship to this state are clogging the dockets of the courts and causing delays in cases filed by residents of Colorado.
- The general assembly finds that the purposes of this part 10 are:
- To ensure access of Colorado citizens to the courts of Colorado; and
- To avoid burdening the courts of this state with cases involving injuries suffered outside of the state that may be resolved elsewhere.
