C.R.S. Section 24-50-103.5
Department of personnel

  • review

(1)

The general assembly finds that state government actions have produced a substantial increase in numbers of agencies, growth of programs, and proliferation of rules and regulations and that the whole process developed without sufficient legislative oversight, regulatory accountability, or a system of checks and balances. The general assembly further finds that by establishing a system for review, it will be in a better position to evaluate the need for modification of the department of personnel, referred to in this section as the “department”, and for modification of the rules and regulations of the board.

(2)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

The legislative audit committee shall cause to be conducted a performance audit of the department and the board. The performance audit shall be completed at least seven months prior to July 1, 1981. In conducting the audit, the legislative audit committee shall take into consideration, but not be limited to considering, the factors listed in paragraph (b) of subsection (3) of this section. Upon completion of the audit report, the legislative audit committee shall hold a public hearing for purposes of review of the report.

(b)

A further performance audit as required in this section shall be completed at least seven months before July 1, 2020, and shall be completed thereafter at the discretion of the state auditor.

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

Committees of reference in each house of the general assembly shall hold public hearings, receiving testimony from the public, the state personnel director, and the chairman of the board, and in such a hearing the department and the board shall have the burden of demonstrating the extent to which a change in the administration, rules and regulations, or operations of the department or the board may increase the efficiency of administration or operation of the department or the board.

(b)

In such hearing, the committee shall take into consideration the following factors, among others:

(I)

(V)

The effectiveness of the department and the board in implementing incentive systems to reward and encourage excellence in public service, particularly in middle and top management levels;

(VI)

The effectiveness of the department or the board in filling job vacancies;

(VII)

The effectiveness of staffing levels of the department, particularly in view of the decentralization of functions of the department to other departments of state government;

(VIII)

The effectiveness of the department and the board as perceived by executive directors of other departments of state government and members of the general assembly;

(IX)

The extent to which changes are necessary in the enabling laws of the department or the board to adequately comply with the factors listed in this paragraph (b); and
