Summary of Legislation
This bill restructures and adds two additional members to the Colorado Commission on Aging,
appointed by the Governor. In making these changes, it also specifies various criteria for members
appointed to the board, establishes initial terms of services for members appointed after the bill's
passage, and limits members to serving no more than two consecutive full terms.
In addition, the bill establishes a liaison in the Department of Human Services (DHS) to work with the
commission and creates a Technical Advisory Committee composed of representatives from multiple
state agencies to support the commission's work. Finally, the bill creates the Lifelong Colorado
Initiative to support policy evaluation, data and metrics creation, and a reporting mechanism.
State Expenditures
The bill increases state agency workload in several ways. First, the DHS will have additional work
for the new liaison to interact with the commission and for department staff to support the various
initiatives, reports, and duties under the bill. This work aligns closely with current responsibilities in
the DHS, and it is assumed that these duties can be accomplished within existing appropriations.

In addition, the Governor's Office will have additional workload to appoint members to the
commission in line with the bill's new requirements. Various state agencies will have additional
workload for staff to serve on the Technical Advisory Committee. This workload in the Governor's
Office and other state agencies is assumed to be minimal and no change in appropriations is required.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect upon signature of the Governor or upon becoming law without his signature.
