The working group is required to: Make findings concerning the prevalence of the administration of colorimetric field drug tests in Colorado and the potential harms that result from such administration; Make findings and recommendations for legislation or policy solutions to eliminate harms from the use of colorimetric field drug tests, administering the tests for presumptive purposes only, and how to prevent future harms resulting from administering such tests; and On or before December 1, 2025, submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the judiciary committees of the house of representatives and the senate.
