Representative Shaffer, sponsor, described the provisions of House Bill 12-1055 that renames the Division of Registrations in the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) as the Division of Professions and Occupations, and authorizes the Executive Director of DORA to adopt rules necessary to administer the division. Within three years of the bill's effective date, the Revisor of Statutes in the Office of Legislative Legal Services (OLLS) must update all current references in the Colorado Revised Statutes to the division, its director, and its cash fund. No later than October 15, 2015, and once each following decade, the DORA must conduct an analysis and evaluation of the division as part of the DORA review process; however, the division is not subject to termination. She also distributed Amendment L. 001 (Attachment A) to remove the safety clause and substitute an effective date.
