The committee took a brief recess.
05:12 PM -- SB17-182
Representative Lontine called the committee back to order.
Representative Willett and Representative Neville presented Senate Bill 17-182. The reengrossed bill clarifies that an insurer is not required to reimburse a policyholder for an amount that exceeds actual damages caused during a collision covered by an uninsured or under-insured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage policy, and defines UI/UIM vehicles. The maximum liability of the insurer is the lesser of:
• the difference between the limit of UM/UIM coverage and the amount paid to the insured by or for any person or organization who may be held legally liable for the bodily injury; or
• the amount of damages sustained but not recovered.
The bill also allows UM/UIM policies to contain provisions that prohibit stacking the limits of more than one policy, if the provisions are included in a single policy covering multiple vehicles or in multiple policies issued by one insurer or by insurers under common ownership or management. However, stacking of UM/UIM policies issued to an insured by different companies or to an unrelated person is permitted. The Insurance Commissioner in the Department of Regulatory Agencies must accept policies that prohibit stacking the limits of more than one UI/UIM coverage policy.

07:00 PM -- SB17-132
Representative Wist and Representative Melton, co-prime bill sponsors, presented Senate Bill 17-132. The reengrossed bill, recommended by the Colorado Commission on Uniform State Laws, repeals current state laws regulating notaries public, and enacts the National Uniform Law Commission's (ULC) Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, as amended by ULC in 2016. The bill modernizes notary responsibilities and electronic recording processes; seeks to promote uniformity among state laws regarding notarial acts; allows the recognition of notarial acts from other jurisdictions; makes minor changes to the penalties related to notary misconduct; and allows a notary to leave his or her journal with their employer instead of retaining it or sending it to state archives. The bill also postpones the sunset review of notaries law from July 1, 2018, to September 1, 2023, and relocates the notaries statutes to the Secretary of State's (SOS) article.
The bill creates a working group, appointed by the SOS, to study and make recommendations regarding electronic remote notarization over the course of at least four meetings by December 1, 2017. The SOS is required to promulgate rules regarding electronic remote notarization by October 1, 2018, after which notaries may perform a notarial act by electronic remote notarization for a fee not to exceed $25.
Representative Melton explained amendment L.014 (Attachment J).
