§ 24-50-901 — Legislative declaration

The general assembly hereby finds and
declares that it is the policy of this state to concentrate on improving the efficiency
and effectiveness of state government in order to provide better service to the
residents and taxpayers of the state of Colorado, to increase state government
productivity, and to decrease state government costs and waste. The general
assembly recognizes that one method of achieving a more efficient and effective
state government is to encourage the involvement of state employees in the
development of innovative ideas that will increase the productivity and service level
of state government while decreasing the costs of state government. The general
assembly realizes that employee incentive programs that reward state employees
for innovative ideas by allowing and incentivizing the employees to share the cost
savings resulting from such innovative ideas will help encourage employee
involvement in making state government more efficient and effective. The general
assembly further recognizes that rewarding state employees' ideas may also
increase employee morale and enthusiasm, decrease employee turnover, and
improve customer service.
