Bill > HB1069

This bill creates a new process for Colorado state legislators to publish potential bill titles and drafts online during the interim period between legislative sessions, allowing each member of the House of Representatives or Senate to post up to three different versions of a bill title or draft on the General Assembly's website. The bill establishes specific publication dates (90, 60, and 30 days before the start of the legislative session) and requires that each published draft include a mandatory disclaimer stating that the bill may or may not be introduced and is subject to change. Members can only post one version of a bill title or draft per day, and any changes to drafts must be marked with double underline. The published titles and drafts will be publicly accessible until the day before the start of the next legislative session, at which point they will be removed from the website. The implementation of this new online forum is set to begin on July 1, 2028, and the bill includes a standard provision that it will take effect after the ninety-day period following final adjournment of the general assembly, with a potential referendum process that could require voter approval in November 2026.
