Subcommittees are now sharing ideas for public input. Please visit each subcommittee page to join the discussion.

The Colorado General Assembly recently passed HB23-1296 which created a task force to study the rights of Coloradans with disabilities.

The act creates the task force on the rights of Coloradans with disabilities (task force) in the Colorado Civil Rights Commission (CCRC). The task force shall create a minimum of 4 subcommittees to study and make recommendations on specific issues related to persons with disabilities:

• The Rewrite Subcommittee, which must study and make recommendations concerning the various issues related to the rewrite and modernization of the Colorado Revised Statutes concerning civil rights of persons with disabilities;
• The Outdoors Subcommittee, which must study and make recommendations related to the basic accessibility of outdoor spaces for persons with disabilities;
• The Housing Subcommittee, which must study and make recommendations related to the affordability, accessibility, and attainability of housing for persons with disabilities; and
• The Government Subcommittee, which must focus on basic physical and programmatic accessibility within state and local government.

The mission of the task force is to bring together the appropriate stakeholders, experts, and impacted groups to study and make recommendations concerning issues related to persons with disabilities.
