 Summary Bill #
This bill, recommended by the Interim Committee to Study School Finance, requires that HB 10-1036
local education providers (which includes school districts, Boards of Cooperative Educational
Services (BOCES), the State Charter School Institute, district charter schools, and institute charter
schools) post specified financial information online in a format that can be downloaded by the
public.

The bill requires the Governor's Office of Information Technology (OIT) to modify the HB 10-1078
Transparency Online Project (TOP) website to show transaction-level data on state expenditures
contained in the state's accounting system. This data must be shown in the most specific level
available and made available in a machine-readable format.

Current law allows cooperative electric associations (CEAs) to exempt themselves from HB 10-1098
regulation by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and operate solely under the control
of their elected board of directors. This bill establishes statutory requirements regarding board
meetings, the election of board members, and conflicts of interest.
Specifically, the bill requires that an opportunity for public input be provided at board
meetings, and that meeting minutes be posted on the CEA's web site.

This bill requires each state agency to present, on an annual basis, the department's strategic HB 10-1119
plan to the relevant committee of reference of the General Assembly. The presentation is to include
a discussion of the department's goals and performance measures. The departments' strategic plans
are required to be posted on both the departments' web sites and the Office of State Planning and
Budgeting's (OSPB) web site. The OSPB is required to prepare and publish an annual performance
report.

This bill repeals several data reporting requirements for local school districts. If HB10-1171 HB 10-1171
is passed then 1178 repeals specific age and data reporting.

This bill directs any state agency that receives gifts, grants, and donations to make an annual HB 10-1178
report to the General Assembly. Beginning in 2011, the report will list each gift, grant, or donation
received; its source and use; and its impact on the sustainability of certain programs. Upon receipt
of a gift, grant, or donation from a non-governmental entity, a state agency is to request a letter from
the donor that specifies the amount, duration, purpose, and bill number, if applicable.
HB10-1260 implements the recommendations of the Department of Regulatory Agencies HB 10-1260
(DORA) in its sunset review of the Colorado State Board of Medical Examiners. Renamed the
Colorado Medical Board, the board is continued through July 1, 2019.

As of October 1, 2010, a state-owned vehicle may be used by an employee for commuting purposesHB only
10-1287
if current law requirements are met, the employee's job description requires it, and the employee agrees
to allow the state to deduct reimbursement for commuting from his or her salary.
A state agency may not waive reimbursement except for an employee who drives a clearly marked police
or fire vehicle, or other qualified non-personal use vehicle.

HB10-1330 requires the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (DHCPF) to create HB 10-1330
an advisory committee to make recommendations for creating a Colorado all-payer health claims
database. The database is to be user-friendly, public, and meet certain criteria for transparency and
data quality.

This bill creates the Medical Clean Claims Transparency and Uniformity Act. It requires the HB 10-1332
executive director of the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to organize a task force
of industry and government representatives to develop a standardized set of payment rules and claim
edits to be used by payers and health care providers in Colorado.

No later than January 1, 2011, this bill requires that the State Board of Education adopt new HB 10-1344
standards for state entities to use when authorizing charter schools. Entities that authorize charter
schools include public school districts and the state Charter School Institute (CSI). The bill specifies
some minimum standards the board is required to adopt. The standards are to serve as a reference
in decisions on charter school approvals, renewals, revocations, and appeals.

All interim studies will be one-year HB 10-1354

studies conducted by the appropriate joint committee of reference of the
general assembly, based on the issues to be studied. The bill repeal the interim committees
that currently are established in statute and make conforming
amendments, including specifying the appropriate committees of
reference for reports that, under current law, are submitted to statutory interim committees.

The DCJ and the parole board are directed to develop an administrative release guideline for use byHB
the10-1374
board in evaluating all applications for parole. The guidelines are to include release
recommendations for each risk category of offender.

the bill requires the Governor's Office of Information Technology (OIT) to make changes to the HB 10-1393
Transparency Online Project (TOP) website to show more detailed information on state
expenditures contained in the state's financial data system.
The bill creates a process for members of the public to challenge the exclusion of data by a state agency,
including action in state district court. When specific expenditure data is excluded,
the TOP website must explain the exclusion and provide aggregated expenditure data.

That the General Assembly calls upon our federal policymakers HJR 10-1013
to: Support policies that promote American interests by requiring full
reciprocity, fairness, and transparency in all U.S. trade agreements

This bill alters the way in which the state pays for categorical programs within the Colorado SB 10-062
Department of Education (CDE). Specifically, the bill eliminates the current requirement that
funding increases for these programs be reflected in the annual Long Bill. Instead, for FY 2010-11
and thereafter, the Long Bill will include a separate line item appropriation reflecting the minimum
funding increase required for these programs under Amendment 23.

The bill, as amended by the Senate SVMA Committee, makes several changes to the SB 10-087
regulation of lobbyists by the Secretary of State, specifically:
encourages volunteer lobbyists to register with either the Secretary of State or the
General Assembly;
• exempts volunteer lobbyists who register with the Secretary of State from paying
registration fees or penalties from late filing of disclosure statements;
• allows the Secretary of State to set the registration fee paid by professional lobbyists in
rule to cover the costs of registering volunteer lobbyists;
• imposes a new $100 per day fine on lobbyists who fail to file disclosure statements
within 10 days of the due date, in addition to the current $10 per day fine;

This bill requires local education providers, which include school districts, boards of SB 10-091
cooperative services (BOCES), the state Charter School Institute, district charter schools, and
institute charter schools, to develop and maintain online revenue and expenditure databases by
September 1, 2011.
This bill requires all investor-owned gas and electric utilities (IOUs) to provide their SB 10-096
customers with information on factors affecting utility rates on a quarterly basis. Specifically, the
bill requires electric utilities to provide information on the percentage of the utility's electricity
attributable to each fuel type used, the load profile for each, and the total cost of generating
electricity per kilowatt-hour for each.

The bill extends the Colorado Open Records Act to apply to documents kept by private SB 10-114
entities that receive public moneys or perform a governmental or public function. Any contract for
the performance of a governmental or public function, and performance measures included in such
a contract, are also open for public inspection. The requirements of the bill apply only to records and
contracts that concern the receipt of public moneys or the performance of public functions.

This bill modifies the Michael Skolnik Medical Transparency Act, which requires regulated SB 10-124
medical practitioners to disclose certain information to the State Board of Medical Examiners in the
Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) whenever they obtain or renew a license. The board
gathers the specified information and makes it available to the public.
The bill requires that all impacted professionals report the physical location of their practice,
information about past education and licenses or certifications, and information about disciplinary
actions.

SB10-126 requires manufacturers of FDA-approved drugs, medical devices, and other SB 10-126
medical supplies to file annual disclosure statements with the Secretary of State. In these statements,
manufacturers must disclose: (1) any payment made to a health practitioner; and (2) any health
practitioner that has an ownership interest in the manufacturer.

The bill requires the Department of Human Services to establish and operate a Child SB 10-171
Protection Ombudsman Program, or to contract for such a program with a public agency or private
nonprofit organization. The program is required to review and resolve complaints, investigate cases
when appropriate, make recommendations to improve the child welfare system, promote best
practices, and report to the Governor and the General Assembly.
