Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE CONTINUATION OF THE COLORADO COMMISSION FOR THE DEAF, HARD OF HEARING, AND DEAFBLIND, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED IN THE 2023 SUNSET REPORT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF REGULATORY AGENCIES.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to continue the Colorado Commission for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deafblind (the Commission) until 2031, implementing recommendations from the 2023 sunset review by the Department of Regulatory Agencies. It amends the existing law to define "auxiliary services" (also known as "communication access services") and establishes a Deafblind Advisory Council to advise the Commission. The bill also requires the Commission, in collaboration with other state agencies, to make recommendations to the legislature and governor's office on establishing a centralized, statewide program to provide auxiliary services for state departments and agencies that employ or serve individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deafblind.
