Bill Summary
Sunset Process - House Agriculture, Water, and Natural Resources Committee. The bill indefinitely continues the Colorado forest health council.
AI Summary
This bill, titled "Sunset Process Forest Health Council," aims to ensure the continued existence of the Colorado Forest Health Council by indefinitely extending its authorization, meaning it will not expire on a set date as previously scheduled. The bill achieves this by removing language from existing Colorado statutes that would have caused the council to be repealed, or cease to exist, on September 1, 2026. The "sunset process" refers to a legislative mechanism where government programs and agencies are periodically reviewed and must demonstrate their continued value to avoid automatic expiration. By indefinitely continuing the council, this bill prevents its scheduled termination and allows it to operate without a future expiration date.
