At the State Capitol: Colorado Open Records Act

Peter Strescino (The Pueblo Chieftain)-

Members of the Senate State , Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee voted on a party line against legislation to modernize the Colorado Open Records Act, meant to bolster public access to government records.

State Sen. John Kefalas, D-Colo., said his SB37 would address taxpayers’ access digital formats. The bill would have boosted this access by requiring records custodians to provide records in machine-readable digital formats if the records are currently kept in that manner, ensuring that citizens have more helpful access to government records, Kefalas said.
