DENVER—Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a bill to let municipalities control the amount of taxes to exempt on business equipment and a measure to direct colleges to create a system for awarding credit for prior work and military experience.
Those are among several bills Hickenlooper signed Saturday.
One bill lets local governments choose whether to exempt all taxes on business equipment, including office furniture. Current law caps such exemptions at 50 percent.
Another bill calls on colleges to create systems for giving students credit for certain military and job experiences. Supporters say that would reduce costs on students by allowing them to graduate faster.
