Darla Daniel, Co-legislative Liaison for CBA Trust and Estates Section, stated that a joint committee of trust and estate and elder law sections is studying the act. She stated that the act makes significant changes to Colorado law and that the committee needs more time to examine it. The committee will not be finished in time for introduction during the 2020 legislative session. Current concerns include the authentication of electronic documents and guarding against fraud and undue influence. The commission asked whether the committee is also looking at how other industries have dealt with authentication of electronic documents; Ms. Daniel confirmed that it is. The commission's consensus was to defer consideration of this act until the 2021 legislative session.
