HB 17-1255

signed

Reporting Requirements By State Veterans Military Affairs To General Assembly

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

House Bill 17-1255 is about keeping a reporting requirement alive for the Colorado Board of Veterans Affairs. It ensures that the board continues to report its activities and findings to the state legislature on an ongoing basis rather than having this requirement expire after three years. This affects veterans and those who rely on services provided by the Board of Veterans Affairs, as it guarantees their work will be regularly reviewed by lawmakers. Since the bill has been signed into law, the reporting requirement is now permanent and the board must continue to provide these reports indefinitely.

Official Summary

Pursuant to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I), any report that is required to be made to the general assembly 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 continues indefinitely a reporting requirement of the board of veterans affairs.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
