Bill Summary

The bill creates a process and establishes a public online forum for a member of the general assembly to publish drafts or titles of the bills that the member is considering introducing during the next legislative session. The bill allows each member to post multiple bill titles, drafts, or a combination of titles and drafts on the online forum and establishes a timeline for a member to publish up to 3 versions of each bill title or draft. The bill also requires each bill title or draft published to include a disclaimer stating that the bill is subject to change and may or may not be introduced based on the discretion of the prime sponsor. The web page on which the bill titles and drafts are published must be taken down on the day before the first day of the legislative session.

AI Summary

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.
