 The general assembly hereby finds and declares that the proliferation of type 1 agencies in state government has increased the number of state government programs through the adoption of administrative rules and regulations and that the level of accountability within each principal department of state government has decreased due to the independence of the type 1 agencies. The general assembly therefore adopts this article in order to evaluate existing type 1 agencies and to determine whether agencies created in the future should be so designated.

The general assembly further states its support for local decisions to utilize people and resources at the local level in a more efficient, effective, and economical manner through consolidation of local advisory boards.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 1.7 - Restructuring the Health and Human Services Delivery System|§ 24-1.7-102. Local Health and Human Services Advisory Boards - Creation - Functions

  In order to accomplish the intent of prior legislation on human services delivery that there be an ongoing process or forum for continued coordination and collaboration at the local level concerning the delivery of human services, this article authorizes the creation of local health and human services advisory boards. A local health and human services advisory board may serve a single county, two or more counties jointly, one or more judicial districts, or other service areas. Members of an advisory board shall be appointed by the governing body or bodies of the counties included. Membership shall be locally determined and shall include appropriate geographic, ethnic, and cultural representation and representation from the public and from consumers of services. Membership shall also include persons who have program expertise for the types of programs the advisory board advises.    In addition to, in combination with, or in lieu of creating a local health and human services advisory board, a county, judicial district, or other service area may elect to consolidate its advisory board with that of one or more other counties, judicial districts, or service areas as specified in section 24-1.7-103.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 1.7 - Restructuring the Health and Human Services Delivery System|§ 24-1.7-103. Consolidation of Local Boards - Process - Requirements

  The general assembly hereby finds that there are many advisory types of boards in the human services delivery system that have similar functions and purposes and have members with similar qualifications and expertise. The general assembly finds that greater efficiency and flexibility would be achieved by allowing counties, judicial districts, and other service areas to combine and consolidate some or all of these boards into one board that serves as a broad-based local planning group and carries out all of the functions and responsibilities of the previous boards through a consolidated board.    Any combination of the following boards or groups may be consolidated into a single advisory board:   Placement alternatives commissions, created pursuant to section 19-1-116 (2)(a), C.R.S.;    Juvenile community review boards, as defined in section 19-1-103 (69), C.R.S., and described in section 19-2-210, C.R.S.;    Local juvenile services planning committees, created pursuant to section 19-2-211, C.R.S.;    Child protection teams, if such a team is created pursuant to section 19-3-308 (6)(a);    Family preservation commissions, established pursuant to section 26-5.5-106, C.R.S.;    A local health and human services advisory board, created pursuant to section 24-1.7-102.       The consolidation of, and appointments to, local boards or groups that have different appointing authorities set in statute, are subject to the agreement of each appointing authority. Each of the separate functions and responsibilities of each board or group as specified in statute must continue to be met by the consolidated board.

CO Code § 24-1.9-101 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 1.9 - Collaborative Management of Multi-Agency Services Provided to Children and Families|§ 24-1.9-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds that children and families often benefit from treatment and services that involve multiple agencies, divisions, units, and sections of departments at the state and county level.    The general assembly further finds that the development of a uniform system of collaborative management is necessary for agencies at the state and county levels to effectively and efficiently collaborate to share resources or to manage and integrate the treatment and services provided to children and families who would benefit from multi-agency services.      The development of a more uniform system of collaborative management that includes the input, expertise, and active participation of parent advocacy or family advocacy organizations may reduce duplication and eliminate fragmentation of services; increase the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of services provided; encourage cost-sharing among service providers; and ultimately lead to better outcomes and cost-reduction for the services provided to children and families in the state of Colorado. (3) (a) The development of a more uniform system of collaborative management that includes the input, expertise, and active participation of parent advocacy or family advocacy organizations may reduce duplication and eliminate fragmentation of services; increase the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of services provided; encourage cost-sharing among service providers; and ultimately lead to better outcomes and cost-reduction for the services provided to children and families in the state of Colorado.    In addition, the general fund moneys saved through utilizing a collaborative approach and consolidating various sources of agency funding will allow for reinvestment of these moneys by the agencies participating in the systems of collaborative management to provide appropriate support to children and families who would benefit from collaborative management of treatment and services.       The general assembly therefore finds that because a collaborative approach may lead to the provision of more appropriate and effective delivery of services to children and families and may ultimately allow the agencies providing treatment and services to provide appropriate services to children and families within existing consolidated resources, it is in the best interests of the state of Colorado to establish systems of collaborative management of multi-agency services provided to children and families.

 The department of human services shall ensure that an annual external evaluation of the statewide program and each county or regional program is conducted by an independent outside entity. The department may contract with the outside entity to conduct an external evaluation of those counties that opted not to participate in the collaborative management program. The department of human services shall utilize moneys in the performance-based collaborative management incentive cash fund created in section 24-1.9-104, or any general fund moneys appropriated for this purpose, for annual external evaluations of the counties participating in memorandums of understanding pursuant to section 24-1.9-102, also known as the collaborative management program, as well as external evaluations as determined by the department of human services of those counties that opted to not participate in the collaborative management program. The annual external evaluation must include any evaluation that may be required in connection with a waiver authorized pursuant to section 24-1.9-102 (4) and an evaluation of whether the parties to a collaborative management program have successfully met or exceeded the performance measures identified in the parties' memorandum of understanding pursuant to section 24-1.9-102 (2)(i). Each county participating in the collaborative management program shall participate fully in the annual external evaluation.   Source: L. 2008: Entire section added, p. 1530, § 2, effective May 28.
