SB 17-056

Senate Bill 17-056 is about keeping or getting rid of certain reports that the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has to give to lawmakers. The bill makes some reports continue forever, while it stops others from being required anymore. This affects how often the department needs to share information with the government about public health issues. Since the status is "signed," this means the governor has approved the bill, making its changes official law.

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 department of public health and environment. Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 12, and 15 of the bill continue indefinitely the reporting requirements contained in those statutory sections. Sections 2 to 5, 9, 10, 11, and 13 repeal reports that are or were scheduled to repeal according to section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I). Currently there are no repeal dates listed in the organic statute. Section 14 adds a repeal date in the organic statute that coincides with the scheduled repeal date specified in section 24-1-136 (11)(a)(I). (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
