04:55 PM -- Senate Bill 13-229 - Concerning Statutory Provisions Related to Criminal Proceedings

Representative Kagan, prime sponsor, explained that Senate Bill 13-229 narrows the title of the bill to the subject of part-time deputy district attorneys (DAs). The bill allows a DA to appoint one or more part-time deputy DAs, who do not practice criminal defense in the jurisdiction or are employed by the Colorado District Attorneys Council, to fulfill the duties of the DA without county commissioner approval. It removes a requirement that a part-time DA be paid by the county he or she serves, and allows this cost to be shared within the judicial district.
