They finally posted the amended bill on the Colorado General Assembly website. According to the new version:

------------------------------------
(2) (a) "LARGE - CAPACITY MAGAZINE MEANS

I) A FIXED OR DETACHABLE MAGAZINE, BOX, DRUM, FEED STRIP OR SIMILAR DEVICE CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING, OR THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE READILY CONVERTED TO ACCEPT MORE THAN FIFTEEN ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION;

(II) A FIXED MAGAZINE OR SIMILAR DEVICE THAT IS CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING MORE THAN EIGHT SHOTGUN SHELLS; OR

(III) A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE, TUBE, BOX, DRUM, FEED STRIP, OR SIMILAR DEVICE THAT IS CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING MORE THAN EIGHT SHOTGUN SHELLS WHEN COMBINED WITH A FIXED MAGAZINE.
--------------------------------------------

So basically, they removed the "readily converted" clause for shotguns.
