HB 17-1257

House Bill 17-1257 is a Colorado law that keeps the Department of Natural Resources required to regularly report its activities and findings to the state legislature. Without this bill, these reporting requirements would have automatically ended after three years. This means that lawmakers will continue to receive updates from the department about natural resource issues in Colorado. Since the bill has been signed into law, the reporting requirements are now permanent and the Department of Natural Resources must keep providing these reports indefinitely.

The bill continues indefinitely reporting requirements of the department of natural resources that were scheduled to repeal according to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I). (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
