SB 26-154

Senate Bill 26-154 changes how members are chosen for the Colorado Channel Authority Board. Currently, four board members must be elected officials from the state legislature, but this bill removes that requirement, meaning these positions can now be filled by anyone, not just legislators. The bill also reduces a specific funding allocation for the legislative department in the next fiscal year by $1,446. Since the bill has been signed into law, its changes are now official and will affect how the Colorado Channel Authority Board operates going forward.

Official Summary

Current law requires 4 members of the Colorado channel authority board to be members of the general assembly. The members of the general assembly include a representative appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives, a representative appointed by the minority leader of the house of representatives, a senator appointed by the president of the senate, and a senator appointed by the minority leader of the senate. The bill repeals the requirement that these appointees must be members of the general assembly.      The bill reduces the general fund appropriation made to the legislative department in the annual legislative appropriation act for the 2026-27 state fiscal year by $1,446.(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
