HB 25-1229 CO Introduced
Salaries of Elected Local Officials
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
Under current law, elected county officials in certain counties may elect to receive a salary that is 50% lower than the salary amount for that county official as set by law. This election must be set forth and recorded with the office of a county's clerk and recorder during the month of November. The bill modifies this election to allow elected county officials in any county to elect to receive any amount of salary lower than the amount set by law or to receive no salary. The election must be made annually and submitted to the county treasurer no later than 30 days before the county's next fiscal year. The bill also extends to district attorneys, in substantially the same manner, the ability to elect to receive a lower salary than the amount set by law or to receive no salary. For purposes of establishing the salaries of county elected officers, each county in the state is delineated into a specified category. The bill changes Mesa county's categorization from category I-D to category I-A, effective January 1, 2029, which will result in an accompanying percentage increase for the county's elected officials. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
