HB 17-1251

House Bill 17-1251 is a Colorado law that ensures higher education agencies continue to report their activities and data to the state legislature on an ongoing basis. Without this bill, these reporting requirements would have expired after three years as per previous rules. The bill removes any expiration date for these reports, meaning higher education agencies will keep providing regular updates to lawmakers indefinitely. Since it has been signed into law, these reporting requirements are now permanent and in effect.

Official Summary

Statutory Revision Committee. Pursuant to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I), Colorado Revised Statutes, any report that is required to be made to the general assembly by an executive agency or the judicial branch on a periodic basis expires on the day after the third anniversary of the date on which the first report was due unless the general assembly, acting by bill, continues the requirement. The bill addresses the reporting requirements of higher education agencies. Section 3 of the bill repeals a report that was scheduled to repeal according to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I). Currently there is no repeal date listed in the organic statute. Sections 1 through 16 of the bill amend the organic statute to continue indefinitely the reporting requirements to send a report to the general assembly notwithstanding the repeal date specified in section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I).(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
