Fiscal Note
Status:
The fiscal note reflects the introduced bill, which was requested by the Colorado Youth
Advisory Review Committee.
Summary of Legislation
The bill makes several changes to the structure of the Colorado Youth Advisory Council (COYAC)
including:
changing when appointments for non-legislative members are made;
requiring the COYAC to adopt bylaws on leadership structure;
allowing COYAC members to participate remotely; and
clarifying that the COYAC issue its annual report to the COYAC Review Committee each interim
the committee meets.
Finally, the bill changes how the chair and vice-chair of the COYAC Review Committee are appointed;
in odd- numbered years, the Speaker of the House will appoint the chair and the President of Senate
will appoint the vice-chair. In even-numbered years, the process is reversed.

Background
COYAC advises and makes recommendations to elected officials about issues that affect Colorado's
youth. The council consists of 40 youths between the ages of 14 and 19 years old, as well as
four legislators who serve as non-voting members of the council. COYAC is housed in the Legislative
Department and is funded by a $25,000 annual General Fund appropriation to the Youth Advisory
Council Cash Fund.
State Expenditures
Starting in FY 2022-23, the bill increases workload within the COYAC, which is housed in the
Legislative Department, to create and adopt bylaws. The fiscal note assumes that this work can be
accomplished within existing appropriations.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect upon signature of the Governor, or upon becoming law without his signature.
