She explained that as soon as the bill to enact the 2021 C.R.S. passes, it makes the 2021 Colorado Revised Statutes the positive and statutory law of the state of Colorado of a general and permanent nature. It is critical that the bill goes into effect at the earliest opportunity, so it always carries a safety clause.

The bill will be introduced in the Senate. 10:10:19 AM Motion I move that the committee approve LLS No. 22-0559 concerning the enactment of the Colorado Revised Statutes 2021 as the positive and statutory law of the state of Colorado for introduction and I ask for a yes vote.

This section also makes an exception to the open meetings act and describes how the poll is conducted. If the poll is on a question other than retaining counsel, it must be ratified at the next meeting. Representative Soper clarified what happens when a member objects to polling on a question of retaining counsel, and Representative Snyder asked a question about retaining counsel. 10:21:06 AM Motion I move the committee approve LLS No. 22-0448 Concerning Procedures of the Committee on Legal Services for introduction.
