2023 Colorado Revised Statutes › Title 24 - GOVERNMENT - STATE (§§ 24-1-101 — 24-116-102) › PRINCIPAL DEPARTMENTS (§§ 24-30-101 — 24-36-306) › Article 34 - DEPARTMENT OF REGULATORY AGENCIES (§§ 24-34-101 — 24-34-1008) › Part 1 - ORGANIZATION (§§ 24-34-101 — 24-34-112) › Section 24-34-104 - [Effective 9/1/2024] General assembly review of regulatory agencies and functions for repeal, continuation, or reestablishment - legislative declaration - repeal

(1)
(a)
The general assembly finds that state government actions have produced a substantial increase in numbers of agencies, growth of programs, and proliferation of rules and that the process developed without sufficient legislative oversight, regulatory accountability, or a system of checks and balances. The general assembly further finds that regulatory agencies tend to become unnecessarily restrictive. The general assembly further finds that, by establishing a system for the repeal, continuation, or reestablishment of regulatory agencies and by providing for the analysis and evaluation of regulatory agencies to determine the least restrictive regulation consistent with the public interest, the general assembly will be in a better position to evaluate the need for the continued existence of existing and future regulatory bodies.
(b)
It is the intent of the general assembly that the system set forth in this section for repeal, continuation, or reestablishment of agencies in the department of regulatory agencies be extended to the functions of certain specified agencies and to certain specified boards, thereby providing for the review of these functions and boards in the most cost-effective manner.
(2)
(a)
The divisions in the department of regulatory agencies, the boards and agencies in the division of professions and occupations, and the functions of the specified agencies and the specified boards will repeal according to the repeal schedule outlined in this section. A requirement for periodic reports to the general assembly will expire as set forth in section
24-1-136 (11)
and is treated as a function of an agency for purposes of this section except as otherwise provided in this section.
(b)
Upon repeal, an agency continues in existence, or, in the case of the repeal of a function, the function continues to be performed, until the date that is one year after the specified repeal date for the purpose of winding up affairs. During the wind-up period, the repeal does not reduce or otherwise limit the powers or authority of the agency; except that a license issued or renewed during the wind-up period expires at the end of the period and original license and renewal fees are prorated accordingly. Upon the expiration of one year after the repeal, the agency shall cease all activities or, in the case of the repeal of a function, the function must cease. When a license issued or renewed before repeal is scheduled to expire after the cessation of activities, the license expires at the end of the wind-up period, and the agency shall refund the portion of the license fee paid that is attributable to the period following the cessation of activities. Any criminal penalty for engaging in a profession or activity without being licensed is not enforceable with respect to activities that occur after an agency has ceased its activities pursuant to this section.
(c)
As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, "agency" includes a division or board within an agency that is subject to review pursuant to this section.
(3)
If the state constitution imposes powers, duties, or functions on an agency or officer that is subject to the provisions of this section and the agency or officer is repealed and the general assembly does not designate another agency or officer to exercise the powers or perform the duties and functions, the agency or officer continues in existence, after the one-year wind-up period, under the principal department as if the agency or officer were transferred to the department by a
type 2
transfer, as defined in section
24-1-105
, until the general assembly otherwise designates.
(4)
The existence of a newly created agency or function in the department of regulatory agencies may not exceed ten years and is subject to the provisions of this section. The general assembly may continue or reestablish the existence of an agency or function that is scheduled for repeal under this section for up to fifteen years. The general assembly, acting by bill, may reschedule the repeal date for an agency or function to a later date if the rescheduled date does not violate the appropriate maximum life provision described in this subsection (4).
(5)
(a)
The department of regulatory agencies shall analyze and evaluate the performance of each agency or function scheduled for repeal under this section. In conducting the analysis and evaluation, the department of regulatory agencies shall take into consideration, but need not be limited to considering, the factors listed in paragraph (b) of subsection (6) of this section. The department of regulatory agencies shall submit a report and supporting materials to the office of legislative legal services no later than October 15 of the year preceding the date established for repeal and shall make a copy of the report available to each member of the general assembly.
(b)
The department of regulatory agencies shall submit its report to the office of legislative legal services for the preparation of draft legislation based solely on specific recommendations for legislation set forth in the report. The department of regulatory agencies shall submit the report to the office of legislative legal services no later than October 15 of the year preceding the date established for repeal. The office of legislative legal services shall prepare the draft legislation before the next regular session of the general assembly for the committee of reference designated in section
2-3-1201
, C.R.S., and shall submit the report from the department of regulatory agencies to the designated committee of reference. The designated committee of reference shall determine the title of the legislation drafted pursuant to this paragraph (b).
(c)
This subsection (5) is exempt from the provisions of section
24-1-136 (11)
, and the periodic reporting requirement of this subsection (5) remains in effect until changed by the general assembly acting by bill.
(6)
(a)
Before the repeal, continuation, or reestablishment of an agency or function, a legislative committee of reference designated in section
2-3-1201
, C.R.S., shall hold public hearings to receive testimony from the public, the executive director of the department of regulatory agencies, and the agencies involved. In the hearing, each agency has the burden of demonstrating that there is a public need for the continued existence of the agency or function and that its regulation is the least restrictive regulation consistent with the public interest.
(b)
In the hearings, the determination as to whether an agency has demonstrated a public need for the continued existence of the agency or function and for the degree of regulation it practices is based on the following factors, among others:
(I)
Whether regulation or program administration by the agency is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare;
(II)
Whether the conditions that led to the initial creation of the program have changed and whether other conditions have arisen that would warrant more, less, or the same degree of governmental oversight;
(III)
If the program is necessary, whether the existing statutes and regulations establish the least restrictive form of governmental oversight consistent with the public interest, considering other available regulatory mechanisms;
(IV)
If the program is necessary, whether agency rules enhance the public interest and are within the scope of legislative intent;
(V)
Whether the agency operates in the public interest and whether its operation is impeded or enhanced by existing statutes, rules, procedures, and practices and any other circumstances, including budgetary, resource, and personnel matters;
(VI)
Whether an analysis of agency operations indicates that the agency or the agency's board or commission performs its statutory duties efficiently and effectively;
(VII)
Whether the composition of the agency's board or commission adequately represents the public interest and whether the agency encourages public participation in its decisions rather than participation only by the people it regulates;
(VIII)
Whether regulatory oversight can be achieved through a director model;
(IX)
The economic impact of the program and, if national economic information is not available, whether the agency stimulates or restricts competition;
(X)
If reviewing a regulatory program, whether complaint, investigation, and disciplinary procedures adequately protect the public and whether final dispositions of complaints are in the public interest or self-serving to the profession or regulated entity;
(XI)
If reviewing a regulatory program, whether the scope of practice of the regulated occupation contributes to the optimum use of personnel;
(XII)
Whether entry requirements encourage equity, diversity, and inclusivity;
(XIII)
If reviewing a regulatory program, whether the agency, through its licensing, certification, or registration process, imposes any sanctions or disqualifications on applicants based on past criminal history and, if so, whether the sanctions or disqualifications serve public safety or commercial or consumer protection interests. To assist in considering this factor, the analysis prepared pursuant to subsection (5)(a) of this section must include data on the number of licenses, certifications, or registrations that the agency denied based on the applicant's criminal history, the number of conditional licenses, certifications, or registrations issued based upon the applicant's criminal history, and the number of licenses, certifications, or registrations revoked or suspended based on an individual's criminal conduct. For each set of data, the analysis must include the criminal offenses that led to the sanction or disqualification.
(XIV)
Whether administrative and statutory changes are necessary to improve agency operations to enhance the public interest.
(c)
A legislative committee of reference that conducts a review pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (6) shall determine whether an agency or function should be repealed, continued, or reestablished and whether its functions should be revised and, if advisable, may recommend the consideration of a proposed bill to carry out its recommendations.
(d)
(I)
If a legislative committee of reference recommends a bill for consideration pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection (6), the bill must be introduced in the house of representatives in even-numbered years and in the senate in odd-numbered years. The chair of each legislative committee of reference that recommends a bill for consideration shall assign the proposed bill for sponsorship as follows:
(A)
To one or more of the members of the committee of reference; or
(B)
To one or more of the members of the general assembly who are not members of the committee of reference if a majority of the committee's members vote to approve the sponsorship.
(II)
A member of the general assembly may not sponsor more than two bills introduced pursuant to this subsection (6) in a single legislative session.
(III)
After consulting with the minority leader of the house of representatives and the senate, respectively, and receiving permission from the representative or senator to be added as the bill sponsor:
(A)
The speaker of the house of representatives shall assign the proposed bill to a representative for sponsorship in the house of representatives in odd-numbered years; and
(B)
The president of the senate shall assign the proposed bill to a senator for sponsorship in the senate in even-numbered years.
(e)
A bill recommended for consideration by a committee of reference pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection (6) does not count against the number of bills to which members of the general assembly are limited by law or joint rule of the senate and house of representatives.
(f)
Before the repeal, continuation, reestablishment, or revision of an agency's functions, a committee of reference in each house of the general assembly designated by section
2-3-1201
, C.R.S., shall hold a public hearing to consider the report from the department of regulatory agencies and any bill recommended for consideration pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection (6). The hearing must include the factors and testimony set forth in paragraph (b) of this subsection (6).
(7)
(a)
Pursuant to the process established in this section, a committee of reference may not continue, reestablish, or amend the functions of more than one division, board, or agency in any one bill for an act, and the title of the bill must include the name of the division, board, or agency. This paragraph (a) does not apply to requirements for periodic reports to the general assembly.
(b)
This section shall not cause the dismissal of a claim or right of a person through or against an agency, or a claim or right of an agency, that has ceased its activities pursuant to this section, which claim is or may be subject to litigation. A person may pursue a claim or right through or against the department of regulatory agencies, the agency that performed the repealed function, or, in the case of a repealed board that is not in the department of regulatory agencies, the specified department in which the board is located. The claims and rights of an agency that has ceased its activities shall be assumed by the department of regulatory agencies, the agency that performed the repealed function, or the specific department.
(c)
This section does not affect the general assembly's authority to otherwise consider legislation affecting a division, board, agency, or similar body.
(8)
If an agency or function repeals pursuant to the provisions of this section and the general assembly reestablishes the agency or function during the wind-up period with substantially the same powers, duties, and functions, the agency or function continues.
(9)
The purpose of this section is to provide a listing of the divisions, boards, agencies, and functions that are subject to review and scheduled for repeal. The provisions of this section do not effectuate the repeal of a statute; the provisions that effectuate the repeal of a statute creating or governing an agency or function are set forth in the substantive statute that creates the agency or function. The repeal provision in a substantive statute does not invalidate the wind-up period allowed by subsection (2) of this section or the provisions of subsection (3) of this section.
