Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

In current law, the Colorado bureau of investigation (bureau) must remain open 12 hours a day, every calendar day except Christmas and Thanksgiving, to transmit requests for a background check to the national instant criminal background check system and search other databases. The act allows the bureau to determine its own hours of operation that best meet its business needs to timely transmit the background check requests. The act requires the bureau to immediately place in the processing queue a request for a background check and accept requests for a background check every calendar day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Additionally, the act requires the bureau to submit a report every year to the house of representatives judiciary committee and the senate judiciary committee describing background check processing times, operating hours, system outages, and actions taken by the bureau to improve efficiency.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
