Colorado State Senate

Neville was the sponsor of Senate Bill 036 in 2016 that adjusted the requirements for the posting of a surety bond in conjunction with appealing a tax case. Prior to SB 036 being signed into law, a taxpayer who filed an appeal against the Colorado Department of Revenue was required to set aside twice the dollar amount which s/he was contesting regardless of which court hears the case. Upon the bill becoming law, however, that changed and the appellant is not required to set aside any money, unless s/he appeals to the Appellate or Supreme Court. In 2017, Neville was the sponsor of House Bill 1313. This bill addressed some significant concerns within the protocol for executing civil asset forfeiture. HB 1313 strengthened citizens’ rights when their property is seized and puts safeguards in place to help eliminate possible fraud. In Education policy, he sponsored Senate Bill 62 in 2017 which prohibited colleges from abridging free speech on campus, and in 2018, Senate Bill 269 which provided funding for schools to implement school safety measures to reduce school violence. Among his health care and safety efforts are included House Bill 1381 concerning marijuana integration regulations and Senate Bill 270 which established a state-wide referral program to aide at-risk individuals in obtaining referrals for mental health treatment. Both of these bill passed and were signed into law in 2018.
