HB 17-1059

House Bill 17-1059, which has been signed into law, deals with reporting requirements for the Department of Public Safety in Colorado. The bill extends ongoing reporting duties indefinitely and eliminates some scheduled reports that were set to end automatically after three years. This means that certain departments will continue providing regular updates to the state legislature without a fixed expiration date, while other specific reports are no longer required. Since it has been signed, these changes are now 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. Sections 1, 3, and 4 continue indefinitely the reporting requirements contained in those statutory sections. Sections 2, 5, 6, and 7 repeal reporting requirements by the department of public safety that were scheduled to repeal according to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I). Currently there is no repeal date listed in the organic statute. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
