Date: 01/20/2017

Location: SCR 352

12:26 PM -- 2b. List of reports in Legislative Council Staff database



Ms. Forrestal noted the first ten reporting bills that had been approved by the Committee in the December meeting. Since 1996, reports to the General Assembly made by executive branch agencies or the judicial branch automatically expire on their third anniversary, pursuant to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I), C.R.S. (reporting statute). She explained that a large number of reporting requirements in the Colorado Revised Statutes are in conflict with the reporting statute, because they have continued long past their third anniversary, and that, pursuant to the Committee's charge, the reporting bills drafted for this meeting are meant to bring the reporting requirements in alignment with the reporting statute.
