                         A BILL FOR AN ACT
       Concerning the specificity of the data included in the
            web-based system that provides the public access to
            state financial information.
       
       
                           Bill Summary
       
            (Note:  This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does
       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted.  If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that
       applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at
       http://www.leg.state.co.us/billsummaries.)
       
            In 2009, the governor issued an executive order to create a
       web-based system that allows public access to government revenue and
       expenditures data, which system is commonly known as the
       "Transparency Online Project".  The web-based system was modified by
       law, which included authority for the chief information officer to
       aggregate information in the system.
            The bill eliminates the chief information officer's ability to
       aggregate information and, instead, specifically requires the data in the
       web-based system to be a replicate of the most specific, nonconfidential
       data available in the state financial system database.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  24-72.4-102, Colorado Revised Statutes, is
       amended BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SUBSECTION to read:
            24-72.4-102.  Definitions.  As used in this article, unless the
       context otherwise requires:
            (1.5)  "State financial system database" means the
       database commonly known as the financial data warehouse,
       created by the office of information technology on behalf of
       the state controller pursuant to the authority set forth in
       section 24-30-202.
            SECTION 2.  The introductory portion to 24-72.4-103 (1) and
       24-72.4-103 (1) (a), Colorado Revised Statutes, are amended to read:
            24-72.4-103.  Web-based system - enhancements.  (1)  No later
       than January 1, 2010, The chief information officer shall modify the
       web-based system to meet the following requirements:
            (a)  Except as set forth in paragraph (g) of this subsection
       (1), the state expenditures and revenues data included in the web-based
       system shall be a replicate of the expenditure and revenue data
       included in the state financial system database commonly known as the
       financial data warehouse, created by the office of information technology
       on behalf of the state controller pursuant to the authority set forth in
       section 24-30-202; except that, regardless of the form of the data in the
       financial data warehouse, where access to each individual transaction is
       likely to hinder, rather than foster, the goal of accountability and
       transparency, the system may provide access to aggregated information
       at the most specific level at which such data is available in a
       machine-readable format;
            SECTION 3.  Act subject to petition - specified effective date. 
       This act shall take effect September 1, 2010; except that, if a referendum
       petition is filed pursuant to section 1 (3) of article V of the state
       constitution against this act or an item, section, or part of this act within
       the ninety-day period after final adjournment of the general assembly,
       then the act, item, section, or part shall not take effect unless approved by
       the people at the general election to be held in November 2010 and shall
       take effect on the date of the official declaration of the vote thereon by
       the governor.
