(1)
The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:
(a)
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.
(b)
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.
(c)
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.

(1)
The general assembly finds that:
(a)
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;
(b)
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;
(c)
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
(d)
The federal government is in arrears on its obligation to reimburse states for costs incurred by the states in dealing with illegal immigration.
(2)
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.
