The committee adjourned.
01:37 PM -- HB 16-1127
Representative Sias, prime bill sponsor, presented House Bill 16-1127, to the committee. This bill requires the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) to conduct an audit of three community-centered boards (CCBs) at least once every five years. To select CCBs for auditing, the OSA must divide CCBs into three sub-groups, based on the number of clients served, with new CCBs added to one of the three sub-groups. One CCB from each sub-group must receive an audit at least once every five years. The OSA must submit a written report of each audit to the Legislative Audit Committee. The bill specifies that CCBs are now subject to the Colorado Local Government Audit Law and the requirements of the audits described above. Representative Sias asked that the committee postpone the bill indefinitely.
