HB 22-1315

HB 22-1315, which has been signed into law, provides funding for the Colorado 2-1-1 collaborative. This means that $1 million each year will be given from the state’s general fund to support operational costs and grants related to the 2-1-1 service, which helps connect Coloradans with essential community resources and services. Additionally, an extra $55,645 is allocated for staffing needs in the next fiscal year. This funding will help ensure that the 2-1-1 service can continue to operate effectively and reach those who need it across Colorado.
