SB 17-241

Senate Bill 17-241 is about updating reporting requirements for the Colorado judicial system. It removes certain outdated report obligations that were set to expire and stops future reports from being required after their scheduled expiration dates. This bill affects how the judiciary communicates with the state legislature, streamlining the process by eliminating unnecessary or expired reporting duties. Since it has been signed into law, these changes are now in effect.

Official Summary

Statutory Revision Committee. Pursuant to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I), Colorado Revised Statutes, any report that is required to be made to the general assembly by an executive agency 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 addresses reporting requirements of the judiciary department. Sections 1 and 5 through 7 of the bill repeal reports that were scheduled to repeal according to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I). Currently there are no repeal dates listed in the organic statutes. Sections 2, 3, and 4 of the bill amend the organic statute to remove a requirement to send a report to the general assembly after the scheduled repeal date specified in section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I).(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
