This law doesn't change Colorado's power to enforce civil and criminal law in these areas. Colorado keeps whatever authority it already had. Colorado also keeps its right to tax people, businesses, and property there, including mineral rights.

Nothing in this subchapter takes away, adds to, or changes any right Colorado or its local governments have to enforce civil and criminal law within the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area or the Arapaho National Recreation Area. It also doesn't change Colorado's right to tax people, businesses, or property - including mineral or other interests - in or on the land or water within those areas.
