HB 23-1028

House Bill 23-1028 allows former members of Colorado's General Assembly to get a name badge that shows they served as either a Representative or Senator. To get the badge, former legislators need to apply to the appropriate office and pay for it themselves. The bill also requires these offices to create standard procedures and designs for the badges. Since the bill has been signed into law, former Colorado lawmakers can now officially obtain these badges to recognize their service.

Official Summary

The bill allows a former member of the general assembly to obtain a name badge indicating that the former member served in the general assembly. To obtain a former member name badge, the former member must submit an application to the secretary of the senate (secretary) or the chief clerk of the house of representatives (chief clerk), depending on which chamber of the general assembly the former member served in, or to either the secretary or the chief clerk if the former member served in both chambers. The former member is responsible for the costs associated with obtaining a former member name badge. The secretary of the senate and the chief clerk are required to jointly develop uniform application procedures for obtaining a former member name badge, and the design and color of the badge. The bill requires that the badge state "Former Representative", "Former Senator", or "Former Representative and Senator", depending on which chamber or chambers of the general assembly the former member served in.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
