SB 26-108

Senate Bill 26-108, which has been signed into law, requires any group within the Colorado legislature that handles money to report their financial activities monthly. These reports must be made public on the state's legislative website by the Legislative Council Staff. The bill ensures transparency by requiring these groups to provide and update contact information accurately. This means that from now on, voters can easily access how such legislative groups are spending their funds through an online platform maintained by the government.
