CO Code § 24-19-101 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 19 - Payment of Postemployment Compensation to Government-Supported Employees|§ 24-19-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   The payment of compensation to government-supported officials or employees after such officials or employees have ended their employment creates unnecessary costs, which ultimately are borne by the taxpayers of this state.    In order to reduce government costs, it is necessary for the state to limit the payment of postemployment compensation to government-supported officials and employees.    The continued payment of compensation to any official or employee after such official or employee has ended his or her service with a governmental unit or government-financed entity not only affects the finances of such governmental unit or government-financed entity, but also has a serious impact on the state as a whole because of the total effect of such compensation payment arrangements on the ability of state and local governments to provide services using the scarce resources that are available. Further, the general assembly finds and declares that the provision of large payments to government-supported officials and employees after their employment has ended has caused grave damage to the trust of the citizens of this state in their state and local government officials. Because of these concerns, the general assembly finds and declares that this is a matter of statewide concern.        Source: L. 93: Entire article added, p. 662, § 1, effective July 1.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 19.7 - Recovery of Federal Reimbursement for Costs Associated With Illegal Immigration|§ 24-19.7-101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds that:   The costs incurred by Colorado in addressing illegal immigration have increased in the last three years and are placing a burden on the state's budgetary and human resources;    The areas in which these costs have dramatically increased include, but are not limited to, identifying illegal immigrants, processing illegal immigrants through the criminal justice system, incarcerating illegal immigrants, and providing education, medical assistance, health care, and foster care for illegal immigrants;    At the same time, federal funding to assist states in dealing with illegal immigration has decreased, yet the federal government is asking state governments to do even more with their own funds to enforce federal immigration laws and preserve homeland security, which are essentially federal responsibilities; and    The federal government is in arrears on its obligation to reimburse states for costs incurred by the states in dealing with illegal immigration.       The general assembly, therefore, determines that it is necessary for the state of Colorado to protect its interests and seek the recovery of reimbursement available under federal law for the costs incurred by this state in dealing with illegal immigration.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 19.8 - Directive to the Attorney General to Demand Federal Enforcement of Existing Federal Immigration Laws|§ 24-19.8-101. Legislative Declaration

 The general assembly hereby finds and declares that the failure to enforce immigration laws at the federal level places an undue burden on state government resources and that there is a limitation on what can be done at the state level to enforce the federal laws and to implement laws at the state level. The general assembly further finds that the state of Colorado spends a disproportionate share of its limited tax revenue on public services and benefits such as health care, law enforcement, criminal defense and incarceration, and education that are provided to illegal aliens as a result of the federal government's failure to enforce immigration laws. Therefore, the Colorado state attorney general shall initiate or join other states in a lawsuit against the United States attorney general to demand the enforcement of all existing federal immigration laws by the federal government.
