HB09-1288 - “The Colorado Taxpayer Transparency Act” - Nikkel considered this bill her "most important bill of the 2009 legislative session." The Transparency Act puts the state’s checkbook online so taxpayers can view expenditures and revenues. Nikkel also said she believes "taxpayers have a right to know how and where the state spends our taxpayer dollars without having to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for Colorado Open Records Act requests." The bill passed both houses unanimously and was signed by the governor.
