Colorado legislature will not vote to overturn Polis's veto of an open records bill
State lawmakers in Colorado have decided not to try to override Gov. Jared Polis's veto of an open records bill. The bill created different rules for open records requests depending on who's requesting them. The rules for journalists would have remained unchanged, but the public would have had to wait longer and pay more for their records. The measure -- Senate Bill 25-077 -- didn't define "journalist," leaving it up to local governments to determine that, which is why the governor said he vetoed it. Republican State Rep. Matt Soper, one of the bill's sponsors, says he understands the concerns about two different sets of rules: "We realized that was clunky, unfair, and really isn't in the spirit of equal justice under the law and so we set aside the veto override and we're clearing the table to bring all the stakeholders back." Local governments requested the bill. They say they're receiving so many open records requests, it's putting a strain on staff and other resources. The Colorado Freedom of Information Center asked Polis to veto the measure because it "creates additional unnecessary barriers for people seeking to gain a better understanding of state and local government activities in Colorado, which is the very purpose of (Colorado Open Records Act)." Polis called the bill and the likely results, had it passed, unfair when he vetoed it. "Essentially, under this bill, speed to access public information is determined by who you are," he said. "A newsperson, a member of the public, and a person seeking financial gain may all request the same information and, under this bill, get access to that information on different timelines. To ensure fairness and confidence in public transparency, all legitimate requests for public transparency under CORA should be treated equally under the law, without preference for some requestors over others." While the new law wouldn't have impacted CBS News Colorado, we did sign on to a letter urging the governor to veto the bill. We don't believe journalists deserve special treatment when it comes to public records.

Gov. Polis vetoes bill that would extend Colorado open records response timeline
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis speaks at the state Capitol on March 13, 2025. (Sara Wilson/Colorado Newsline) Colorado Gov. Jared Polis vetoed his first bill of this year's legislative session, rejecting a bill that would have changed the state's open records law. 'It would certainly be convenient for the Executive Branch to agree to weaken CORA, but as a representative for the people of Colorado, I support more, not less, openness and transparency,' the Democrat wrote in his Thursday veto letter, referring to the Colorado Open Records Act. Senate Bill 25-77 was a bipartisan measure that would have extended the timeline that a records custodian has to respond to a CORA request, except for requests from journalists. It also would have given entities more time to respond to a request if they decided the request was for financial gain, like obtaining information on a large group of people in order to solicit business. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX The bill was sponsored by Sen. Cathy Kipp, a Fort Collins Democrat, Sen. Janice Rich, a Grand Junction Republican, Rep. Matt Soper, a Delta Republican, and Rep. Michael Carter, an Aurora Democrat. Kipp and Soper ran a similar bill last year that died in a Senate committee. 'I was really hoping that he would decide not to veto it,' Kipp said. 'I think it is a very fair bill that we worked for a couple years on in order to get it into a good place. We have several elements of the bill that are good for both requestees and for requesters, and I think it would make things easier.' The bill passed on a 45-19 vote in the House and a 27-6 vote in the Senate, which would satisfy the two-thirds requirement to override a veto if the Legislature pursues one. The lawmaking session ends the first week of May. Kipp said sponsors are having conversations about pursuing a veto override. Polis took issue with allowing public officials to make those determinations on who the requester is and what their motives are. 'The bill leaves the custodian with far too much power to define who is and is not a member of the media, and what is and isn't news,' he wrote. 'For instance, a public official may deem a request from a media outlet focusing specifically on climate change as not meeting the statutory definitions of 'newsperson' or 'mass medium' given the perspective of some elected officials that climate change is categorically not news.' The bill relied on existing definitions of 'mass medium' and 'newsperson' found in state statute related to courts and court procedures. Polis also objected to the creation of different CORA response timelines for different types of requests, ranging from three days for journalists and 30 days for businesses seeking records for financial gain. 'A newsperson, a member of the public, and a person seeking financial gain may all request the same information and, under this bill, get access to that information on different timelines,' Polis wrote. 'To ensure fairness and confidence in public transparency, all legitimate requests for public transparency under CORA should be treated equally under the law, without preference for some requestors over others.' But to Kipp, the bill's intention is for the government to not conduct 'market research' for businesses on the same timeline and cost for others seeking public records. The bill's bipartisan group of sponsors and supporters had argued that the bill was intended to give public officials a reasonable amount of time to respond to an increasing volume of requests. 'People should be able to get information that they want to get. So what we're mostly doing with this bill is trying to clarify the processes for requesters, and to give those public entities and records custodians just a little bit more time to fulfill those requests, because it's become just an overwhelming burden,' Kipp said. The Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition's advocacy committee had asked Polis earlier this month to veto the bill, arguing in a letter that it would create unnecessary barriers 'for people seeking to gain a better understanding of state and local government activities in Colorado.'

New law lets Colorado colleges cut checks to student athletes
Colorado universities can now put student athletes on the payroll for their name, image and likeness (NIL) rights — but what they're paid is off-limits to the public. Why it matters: The move aligns Colorado with a federal settlement (House v. NCAA) that will soon force colleges to share sports revenue with athletes. But it also shields those contracts from public records requests, raising bipartisan alarms about transparency. Catch up quick: The NCAA and its five power conferences voted last spring to let schools directly pay athletes — a seismic shift for a league that has long sought to maintain the amateur nature of college sports, Axios' Sareen Habeshian writes. Driving the news: Last week, Gov. Jared Polis signed Colorado's implementation bill that allows schools to pay athletes directly from ticket sales, broadcast deals and merchandise revenue. But Polis also raised concerns about a carveout that keeps those athlete contracts exempt from the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA). State of play: Supporters of the exemption, including CU Boulder — which raked in a record $140 million in athletics revenue last year — argue that publishing specific payouts could endanger athletes. They cite concerns about harassment fueled by online trolling and the rise of sports gambling. They also say Colorado schools could lose their recruiting edge, since private universities and many other states aren't subject to public disclosure laws. What they're saying: "They're not being paid with public money," said bill sponsor Sen. Judy Amabile (D-Boulder), per the Denver Post. "They're students, and students have protections, and we wanted to preserve that." The other side: Opponents, including open government advocates, say hiding individual payments makes it impossible to detect discrimination or favoritism.

US Army rapidly ridding itself of old weapons requirements
In its process of weeding through nearly 2,000 weapons requirements documents amassed over decades within the U.S. Army, the service has removed over 400 outdated requirements to free up funds and clean up its books, said Lt. Gen. Karl Gingrich, the Army's deputy chief of staff G-8. The Army embarked on an effort last year to weed through its mountain of formal requirements for any equipment or resources, from networks to weapons, that it might want to discard due to their stale or outdated nature. Requirements describe desired capabilities that the military wants to have. There's a sizable bureaucracy in the armed forces devoted to creating and refining requirements, passing them to acquisition specialists as the basis for eventual programs. Lousy requirements have led to billions of dollars wasted in the Army and elsewhere in the U.S. military. The service's new process is essentially an Army Requirements Oversight Council, or AROC, event — but in reverse. Instead of approving new requirements, as the panel usually does, the service approves their removal. The Army is calling it CORA, which is coincidentally a backwards 'AROC,' but stands for Continuous Objectives Requirements Analysis. 'What we are doing is we are actually using some automated tools to go back and take a look and see what's still relevant with all these requirements documents,' Gingrich said at the McAleese Defense Programs conference in Arlington, Virginia. 'Often, old requirements are still associated with some operations and sustainment funding, which can be allocated elsewhere.' As the Army validates new requirements coming online, the service is looking to identify requirements on the books that are rendered invalid as a result of new or changing requirements, Gingrich explained. 'We are becoming more sophisticated,' Gingrich noted. The service is now able to — when writing new requirements — dive into old requirements using the CORA process and align resources from old requirements that are tied to new ones. For instance, the Army is working to completely overhaul its command and control architecture through an effort called Next-Generation Command-and-Control. The previous capability consisted of a variety of essentially disparate systems. The Army was able to identify old requirements that established those 'vertical systems' and off-ramped the money applied to those requirements. 'We will bring it into Next-Gen C2 in the future so that we ensure there's no money out there going toward legacy systems,' Gingrich said.
