Colorado Politics: The panel charged with enacting protocols governing the judicial discipline process has released a set of new rules for public comment.

Last November, voters approved constitutional Amendment H to reform how Colorado disciplines its judges. The changes reduced the role of the state Supreme Court, enabled information-sharing about judges’ alleged misconduct to occur sooner and more widely, and established the 13-member rule-making committee.

On July 29, the committee posted three sets of interim rules, which took effect in early-to-mid-June. Its chair, Kristen L. Mix, did not immediately respond to a question about the gap between the rules’ enactment and their public posting. The committee, in a notice announcing the rules, said the public will also have the chance to provide feedback when the body proposes a set of final rules.
