Home Improvement Permit Amnesty

I want States, in my case Colorado, to offer an amnesty period for Home Owners who have had improvements made on their homes without obtaining a permit to go to their city and county offices and apply for a permit retroactively. With the housing market and economy problems many people had to stay in their homes even though they would have considered moving. Because they stayed many made improvements but due to lack of money or knowledge did not obtain the proper permits. An amnesty period would allow homeowners to become compliant and include the improvements when refinancing or selling and it would also allow states to generate revenue by collecting the permit fees from sources they very likely would not be able to collect from otherwise.
