Bill > HB1086

This bill modifies the effective date provisions for Section 2 of Senate Bill 24-125, which relates to the Interstate Compact on Placement of Children. Specifically, the bill stipulates that this section will take effect on the date when the compact is enacted into law in the thirty-fifth state to adopt it. The executive director of the Colorado Department of Human Services is required to notify the revisor of statutes by email when this condition is met, specifying the exact date of the thirty-fifth state's adoption. If the notice does not specify a precise date, the section will take effect on the date of the notice to the revisor. This ensures that the compact's implementation is synchronized across states and provides a clear mechanism for determining when the law becomes operative. The bill includes a standard safety clause, which asserts that the legislation is necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety.
