09616C030DA55E9187258A4E005D6422 Hearing Summary

There was no public testimony on this agenda item. Commissioner McGihon relayed that the ULC noticed that the act was introduced, but due to the pandemic was not publicly heard. Commissioner Gardner noted that there has not been much discussion on the uniform act since 2020 in Colorado, although pretrial release and detention is frequently discussed. He added that he questions that this is an appropriate subject for uniformity in that it is a function of each state's criminal justice system. Commissioner McGihon suggested that the commission ask the ULC to do a side-by-side comparison of Colorado law to the act before future consideration. Commissioner Mielke concurred that uniformity in criminal law would be difficult to achieve. Commissioner Tipper concurred noted that the legislature has done a lot of work on this area in the past six years and the commission may want to let the dust settle on that for a bit.

Commission consensus was to not move forward on this act at this time.
