  • Legislative Wrap-Up
    LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence Accomplishes 2011 Legislative Priorities Colorado’s 68th General Assembly concluded the 2011 Legislative Session on May 11th with sig- nificant achievements for domestic violence advocates and survivors. The priority pieces of legisla- tion for the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence, HB 1080 and SB 187, passed and have been signed into law by the Governor! The Coalition’s proactive legislation, HB 1080, which en- hances the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP), went into effect on June 2nd. HB 1080 was passed without a single vote in opposition! The statutory changes will strengthen the ACP for cur- rent and future participants, enhance the security and efficiency of the Program, and decrease the amount of funding used on administration. SB 187, the bill to renew regulation of mental health professionals and their oversight boards, cre- ated an opening for the Coalition to close a gap in the regulation of court appointed mental health professionals. We testified before the Senate on the need for an amendment to the bill to address the existing lack of accountability for roles like Child and Family Investigators (CFI’s) and were then invited to work with two of the Senators to draft it. Through collaboration with these Senators, the House sponsor, and a dedicated group of survivor/protective parents, the Coalition worked dili- gently to ensure the amendment remained in the bill throughout the legislative process. SB 187 will go into effect on July 1st, at which time parents whose court appointed mental health profes- sional engages in professional misconduct will be able to have a complaint investigated and acted upon by the Department of Regulatory Agencies.

This year, there will be added significance to the turnover before the 2017 General Assembly, because both the House and Senate will lose their respective leaders due to term limits. Speaker of the House Dickey Lee Hullinghorst and President of the Senate Bill Cadman are unable to run for election again because of term limits. In all, seven Democrats are term-limited in the Senate. In the House, Democrats face the prospect of replacing nine members; however, some of these folks are running for Senate seats. On the Republican side, two seats in both the House and the Senate will be open due to term limits. https://www.casb.org/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=81&ModuleInstanceID=818&ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&… 1/4 5/31/2019 School Board Advocate: May 24, 2016 The Senate will have 18 seats up for election this fall, and many observers consider the Colorado Senate election to be one of the most competitive in the country.
