CO SB105

County coroners, clerks and recorders, and assessors must file written disclosures of financial interests in businesses regulated by their offices within 30 days of taking office or acquiring the interest

"Financial interest" includes ownership, employment, management roles, contractual relationships, or other direct pecuniary interests in specified businesses (death-care providers for coroners, auto dealerships for clerks, real estate-related businesses for assessors)

County officers who disclose a financial interest are prohibited from participating in official actions that would directly and specifically affect the business in which they hold that interest

Coroners must annually disclose aggregate numbers of human remains referrals made to each mortuary, funeral home, crematory, or death-care provider, without personal identifying information of decedents

Disclosure statements are public records filed with the county clerk and recorder, and these requirements supplement existing state and federal conflict of interest laws
