Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
Legislative Oversight Committee Concerning Colorado Jail Standards. Current law tasks the underfunded courthouse facility cash fund commission (commission) to evaluate grant applications and issue grants to counties for underfunded courthouse facilities through master planning services, matching funds or leveraging grant funding opportunities, or for addressing emergency needs due to the imminent closure of a court facility. The bill changes the name of the commission and the underfunded courthouse facility cash fund and expands the responsibilities of the commission to include jails in addition to court facilities. Additionally, the bill allows grants to be issued for up to 50% of a county's annual voter-approved debt service on any county-approved financing of the construction or remodeling costs of a court or jail facility.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
