Commissioner Levy stated that the commission has held fairly extensive discussions on this act and has asked for and received a comparison report of the act with Colorado law from the Uniform Law Commission (ULC). Although this act provides additional procedural protections that would be beneficial to Colorado there are some first amendment issues to be considered. Enough time may have passed since Colorado enacted its laws on public expression that there may now be interest in the uniform act but the sponsor would need to have a background in this area of law. 10:02:41 AM Commissioner Gardner added that the act would be a heavy lift and the commission should find a sponsor before moving forward with it. Commissioner Levy suggested that the commission look to the advocacy community and search out other sources of comment and support for the act. Commissioner Mielke moved that the act be drafted but that the commission defer consideration on the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act until a future meeting. Three commissioners seconded, and the motion passed without objection. 10:05:57 AM Motion The act be drafted but that the commission defer consideration on the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act until a future meeting.
