HB 22-1081

House Bill 22-1081 reestablishes the Sunrise Sunset Review Committee in Colorado. The committee will consist of six legislators who will review existing government divisions and decide whether they should continue or be terminated. Additionally, the committee will look at proposals for regulating new professional groups and evaluate any new advisory committees proposed during legislative sessions. Since the bill has been signed into law, it means that this committee is now officially in place to conduct these reviews.
