DIGEST
SB 20 Original 2018 Regular Session Cortez
Present law (Sunset) provides that the Dept. of Transportation and Development and all the statutory
entities made a part of that department by law shall begin to terminate their operations on July 1,
2017, and that all legislative authority for such entities shall cease as of July 1, 2018, unless the
legislature enacts a bill authorizing the re-creation of the department and its statutory entities prior
thereto.
Proposed law provides for the general re-creation of the Dept. of Transportation and Development
and its statutory entities, effective June 30, 2018, in accordance with the "Sunset" law.
Proposed law supersedes the provisions of the "Sunset" law which set out the procedure for review
and re-creation and which require a separate bill to re-create each statutory entity within the
department along with additional provisions.
Proposed law makes July 1, 2021, the new termination date and termination would begin July 1,
2020, unless the department is re-created again.
Effective June 30, 2018.
