The committee returned to order.

Representative Waller, sponsor, presented Senate Bill 13-007. This bill eliminates the repeal date of the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ).

Background. The CCJJ was established in 2007 to engage in an evidence-based analysis of the criminal justice system in Colorado and to report annually to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the Chief Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court. The commission consists of 26 voting members and one nonvoting member appointed from various executive branch agencies, the judicial branch, the legislative branch, criminal justice entities, and the public at large. Members of the commission serve without compensation. The CCJJ is staffed by the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) within the Colorado Department of Public Safety. It is currently set to repeal on July 1, 2013.

Representative Waller addressed prepared amendment L.007 (Attachment A), which adds a repeal date of July 1, 2018, to the bill. Members of the committee commented about the benefits of the CCJJ.
