SB 17-031

Senate Bill 17-031 is a Colorado law that extends certain reporting requirements for the Department of Corrections, meaning the department must continue providing regular updates to the state legislature on specific topics. The bill also removes some outdated or unnecessary reports and sets new expiration dates for others. Since it has been signed into law, these changes are now in effect, ensuring that the Department of Corrections continues to report on important issues while streamlining their reporting process by eliminating obsolete requirements.

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, 4, 5, 7, and 9 continue indefinitely the reporting requirements contained in those statutory sections. Sections 2, 3 and 10 repeal reports related to corrections 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. Sections 6 and 8 of the bill add a repeal date in the organic statute that coincides with the scheduled 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.)
