Yearly reviews for Colorado bond hearing officers

Colorado’s State Court Administrator must create yearly reviews for bond hearing officers appointed under C.R.S. § 16-4-116. Reviews must include input from attorneys, court staff, and other interested court users. Each review must include the elected district attorney and regional public defender, or their chosen representatives. Their input is required from every judicial district where the officer presided during the review period. The process must also seek input from every district where a weekend bond hearing officer presides.
