C.R.S. Section 2-3-1203
Sunset review of advisory committees

  • legislative declaration
  • definition
  • repeal

(1)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

The general assembly finds and declares that advisory committees are beneficial to government since they help involve private citizens in the daily operations of government and provide the government with a system for using the expertise of its citizens. However, historically there was no legislative supervision that would allow for the systematic review of these committees to identify those committees that may have outlived their usefulness yet remained in the statutes and those committees that may have failed to perform the functions for which they were created. To assure that newly created advisory committees are supervised and subjected to review, the life of a newly created advisory committee may not exceed ten years, and the statutory authorization for the committee must include a corresponding repeal provision. The general assembly, acting by bill, may reschedule the review date for an advisory committee to a later date if the rescheduled date does not violate the ten-year maximum life provision. Newly created advisory committees are subject to the review provisions of this section.

(b)

As used in this section, “advisory committee” means an advisory body, including but not limited to a commission, council, or board.

(2)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(III)
