(1)
As used in this section, "board" includes any board, commission, committee, task force, or other similar body created in the state constitution or state statute.
(2)
Unless a section of the state constitution or a statute creating a board provides otherwise:
(a)
Any vacancy in an appointed office on a board arising for any reason other than the expiration of the member's term shall be filled by the appointing authority who made the initial appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term. An appointment to fill a vacancy is subject to the same qualifications and conditions as set forth in statute or in the state constitution for the vacant position. The staff of a state agency that provides staff support to the board, or, if no agency provides staff support to the board, the chair of the board, shall notify the appointing authority for the vacant position of the vacancy by e-mail within thirty days of the vacancy occurring.
(b)
Notwithstanding the term length set forth in statute or the state constitution, an appointed member continues to serve until the member's successor is duly appointed.
(c)
When the director or executive director of an executive agency, a division of an executive agency, or an office within an executive agency is an ex officio member of a board, the director or executive director may designate another person within the executive agency to fulfill the director or executive director's duties on the board.
(d)
When a constitutional or statutory provision that creates or concerns activities of a board includes a requirement that applies to a "minimum majority" of the membership of a board, "minimum majority" means the lowest number of members that is more than half of all board members.
(e)
A member of a board may participate remotely in board meetings if allowed by the board's policies or bylaws, including for the purposes of establishing a quorum of the board. Remote participation by a member at a board meeting must be recorded in the meeting minutes.
(f)
For the purposes of any term limit that applies to the members of a board, a partial term counts toward the term limit only if the partial term was more than half the length of a standard term for a member of that board.

The general assembly hereby finds and declares that the proliferation of

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.

agencies should continue as

agencies and to evaluate the designation of proposed new
type 1
agencies.

(1)
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.
(2)
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

(1)
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.
(2)
Any combination of the following boards or groups may be consolidated into a single advisory board:
(a)
Placement alternatives commissions, created pursuant to section
19-1-116(2)(a)
, C.R.S.;
(b)
Juvenile community review boards, as defined in section
19-2.5-102

(c)

(e)

, C.R.S.;
(f)
A local health and human services advisory board, created pursuant to section

.
(3)
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.

(1)
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.
(2)
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.
(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.
(b)
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.
(4)
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 general assembly finds that an agency should not regulate or restrict the freedom of any person to conduct his or her affairs, use his or her property, or deal with others on mutually agreeable terms unless it finds, after a full consideration of the effects of the agency action, that the action would benefit the public interest and encourage the benefits of a free enterprise system for the citizens of this state. The general assembly also finds that many government programs may be adopted without stating the direct and indirect costs to consumers and businesses and without consideration of such costs in relation to the benefits to be derived from the programs. The general assembly further recognizes that agency action taken without evaluation of its economic impact may have unintended effects, which may include barriers to competition, reduced economic efficiency, reduced consumer choice, increased producer and consumer costs, and restrictions on employment. The general assembly further finds that agency rules can negatively impact the state's business climate by impeding the ability of local businesses to compete with out-of-state businesses, by discouraging new or existing businesses from moving to this state, and by hindering economic competitiveness and job creation. Accordingly, it is the continuing responsibility of agencies to analyze the economic impact of agency actions and reevaluate the economic impact of continuing agency actions to determine whether the actions promote the public interest.

(1)
(a)
The general assembly hereby finds and declares that this section codifies existing practice, that each agency already knows about and tracks the rule issues described in subsection (2)(a) of this section, and that much of this work is currently completed in the normal course of an agency's business.
(b)
The general assembly further finds and declares that it is not the general assembly's intent for an agency to increase its existing rule compliance monitoring.
(2)
(a)
Each agency shall conduct, within existing resources, an analysis of noncompliance with its rules to identify rules with the greatest frequency of noncompliance, rules that generate the greatest amount of fines, how many first-time offenders were given the opportunity to cure a minor violation, and those factors that contribute to noncompliance with rules by regulated businesses. The analysis will guide each department on how to improve its education and outreach to regulated businesses on compliance with the department's rules. The agency shall consider and review:
(I)
Whether the rule is unclear and should be rewritten;
(II)
Whether more education or training of the regulated businesses would be likely to achieve better compliance with the rule; and
(III)
The enforcement level and any appropriate fines for noncompliance with the department's rules.
(b)
Any principal department that conducts an analysis of noncompliance with rules adopted by agencies within its department pursuant to subsection (2)(a) of this section shall forward that analysis to the department of regulatory agencies, which shall compile and summarize those analyses into one combined analysis of noncompliance with rules. The department of regulatory agencies shall include the compiled analysis in its departmental presentation to its oversight legislative committee of reference made pursuant to section
2-7-203
of the "State Measurement for Accountable, Responsive, and Transparent (SMART) Government Act".
