Allow Electronic Committee Participation During Interim

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

House Bill 17-1113, which has been signed into law, allows members of the Colorado legislature to participate in committee meetings electronically during the time when they are not in regular session. This means that senators and representatives can attend these meetings remotely instead of being physically present. The bill affects how legislators engage with committees between official legislative sessions, making it easier for them to stay involved even when they cannot be physically in Denver. Since the bill is signed, this new method of participation is now officially part of Colorado's legislative process.

Official Summary

The bill gives the executive committee of the legislative council the ability to consider, recommend, and establish policies regarding electronic participation by senators or representatives in committee meetings during the legislative interim. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
