SB 17-046

Senate Bill 17-046 updates Colorado's procedures for handling unpaid state warrants and checks. It removes the requirement to post a list of these outstanding payments in the offices of the state treasurer and controller, making this information less publicly visible. The bill also aligns the expiration period for these warrants and checks with the rules set by the 'Unclaimed Property Act'. Since the status is "signed," the changes have been officially approved and are now law, affecting how the state manages unpaid financial documents.
