Date: 01/12/2016

02:26 PM -- 4. Other business and public comment

• Commissioner McGihon announced that there would be a vacancy on the commission due to the resignation of Commissioner Keyser. The vacancy will need to be filled with a Colorado legislator who is also an attorney. The Committee on Legal Services (COLS) will make the vacancy decision. Anyone interested in the position should let the commission know.

• Commissioner Morris updated the commission on the Joint Rule 25 hearing schedule for CCUSL status updates and presentations to joint committees of reference. Suggested topics for the presentations included the legislative agenda and any specific bills that may come before that committee, CCUSL website and information, the reason for uniform laws and how these laws fit within the federal and state systems, and readily available ULC materials.
• Commissioner Shaffer reminded the commission that the ULC has people available to assist on presenting the ULC acts and some other ULC housekeeping items.

• The commission discussed the timeline on the introduction of its bills. Commissioners are encouraged to notify other commissioners if they will be unable to testify on their CCUSL bills so that, if possible, others might be able to fill in for them.

• The next CCUSL meeting will be at the ULC annual meeting in Vermont in July, unless something unexpected comes up before then.
