An influential state commission that has helped Colorado leaders shape criminal justice policy for 15 years is shutting down
A bill to reauthorize the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice was postponed indefinitely by the House Judiciary Committee.The commission, which is comprised of state officials and community members representing a variety of perspectives, has helped craft many criminal justice policies since lawmakers created it in 2007.
The commission came up with a list of recommendations for a bill to make all auto thefts a felony, regardless of a vehicle’s value.But many lawmakers saw problems with the CCJJ. “I don't shy away from political conversations. But I do want for evidence-backed and data-driven policies to really be able to be vetted thoroughly from a broad cast of characters,” said Gonzales.The Colorado District Attorneys’ Council , which is also represented on the commission, fought against letting the commission expire.The House Judiciary Committee voted to postpone a bill reauthorizing the commission indefinitely.
