Joint Budget Committee. During the first session of the
seventy-fourth general assembly, the general assembly enacted Senate Bill 23-228, which created the office of administrative services for independent agencies (office) in the judicial department to provide administrative support services to certain independent agencies within the judicial department. Among other things, Senate Bill 23-228 required the administrative board that governs the office to hire an office director by October 1, 2023, and required the office director to hire staff by March 1, 2024. The administrative board was unable to hire a director and discontinued its efforts to set up the office in order to revisit the office structure created in Senate Bill 23-228.
The bill repeals and reenacts the law enacted by Senate Bill 23-228
to restructure the office and make administrative changes to ensure enhanced office efficiency and success.
