A state House committee Thursday killed legislation to require the online publication of bill drafts more than a month before the start of each session of the Colorado General Assembly.
Rep. Stephanie Luck, R-Penrose, said she introduced House Bill 22-1096 to give people more time to “really dig deep” into proposed measures that could impact their lives.
Her plan would have affected a lawmaker’s first five bills, “increasing transparency during the drafting process (to) allow interested parties to identify themselves as stakeholders and potentially participate in assisting legislators to create optimal public policies,” according to the legislative declaration.
