02:14 PM -- HB 16-1012
Senator Scott, sponsor, described the provisions of House Bill 16-1012 that requires certified statements of local election results to be filed with the Division of Local Government in the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). Under current law, the statements are filed with the Secretary of State (SOS). The bill requires the division to post the statements on its website, and the SOS must provide a link to them on its website. The bill does not change the requirement that the certified statement must also be published in a newspaper or posted within the municipality.
The following persons testified on the bill:
02:15 PM -- Bruce Eisenhauer, representing DOLA, testified in support of the bill and responded to questions from the committee about the bill.
02:16 PM -- Suzanne Staiert, Deputy Secretary of State, testified in support of the bill and responded to questions from the committee about the oversight of local elections by the SOS.
02:22 PM
