SM 17-002

Senate Memorial 17-002, which has been signed into law, focuses on improving accountability within the Colorado Department of Veterans Affairs. This means that the department will likely have clearer guidelines and consequences for employees who do not meet performance standards or violate policies. The bill affects all staff members working in the Department of Veterans Affairs, ensuring they are held to a higher standard of conduct and performance. Since it has been signed, the changes outlined in this memorial are now official policy within the department.
