The Statutory Revision Committee voted to introduce five OLLS-drafted bills intended to correct defects and clarify statutory language across multiple areas of Colorado law.
Shelby Ross presented LLS 26-089 to replace an outdated reference to an acute treatment unit with the consolidated 'behavioral health entity' license following the transfer of licensing authority to the Behavioral Health Administration. The committee agreed to begin the bill in the House to meet the House filing deadline.
Claire Heffner presented LLS 260337 to fix contradictory deadlines in SB 25-163 governing battery stewardship organizations and the Department of Public Health and Environment. OLLS identified that the assessment completion deadline (12/01/2028) fell after the department’s required submission date (03/01/2028); the draft would move the submission date to 03/01/2029 so submission follows completion.
Heffner also presented LLS 26-167 to add two missing words in the online-marketplace provision of SB 25-70 so the statutory sentence reads as intended (adding the words 'of selling' after 'is suspected'). The committee supported correcting the defective sentence.
Lindy Schabel presented LLS 206379 to correct seven defective cross-references in section 14-10-115 of the Colorado Revised Statutes related to child support guidelines; the bill’s amending clause sets corrected provisions to take effect March 1. The committee authorized technical corrections and named sponsors.
Jacob Bennington presented LLS 260255 to correct multiple defects in statutes administered by the Department of Revenue, including terminating an incorrectly continued list, removing outdated cross-references, clarifying fuel-expense language, and removing unused definitions. A Department of Revenue representative attended for questions.
All five drafts were approved for introduction as statutory revision committee bills without recorded roll-call votes; committee members authorized OLLS to make technical, non-substantive edits as needed and assigned sponsors to carry each measure in the House and the Senate.
