JOINT COMMITTEE COMMITTEE ON STATUTORY REVISION COMMITTEE
Date Mar 23, 2018      
Location SCR 352



2e. Removing language that prohibits sectarian entities from applying for certain grants - Committee Discussion Only


01:56:20 PM  

Brita Darling, OLLS, testified before the Committee, explaining the Supreme Court decision in Trinity Lutheran Church of Columba, Inc. v. Comer, what might be considered a "generally available public benefit" in the Tony Grampsas Program, and the changes to statute in proposed Bill 2e, which repeals the word "nonsectarian" in a number of definitions. Senator Moreno added that the Committee had been consistently reviewing court cases that might apply to the Colorado Revised Statutes, which is why he asked Ms. Darling to prepare a legal opinion and proposed bill 2e. After a discussion, the Committee decided not to introduce Bill 2e.
