Summary of Legislation
Under current law, the Board of Commissioners of the State Fair Authority includes two residents
from the county where the state fair is held (Pueblo County), one member from each of seven
congressional districts, and one person from the state at large. The bill terminates the terms of the
eight members representing congressional districts and the state at large on October 31, 2022, and
requires the Governor to appoint eight members representing the four agricultural districts in the state
for terms beginning November 1, 2022. The bill also sets requirements for members regarding
occupation, agricultural experience, residency, and political party affiliation.
State Expenditures
The bill creates a one-time increase in workload for the Office of the Governor to incorporate the new
requirements and make eight board member appointments by November 1, 2022. This can be
accomplished within existing appropriations.
