HB 23-1121

House Bill 23-1121, which has been approved by the governor and will take effect on August 7, 2023, removes several tax breaks that are rarely used in Colorado. These include exemptions for crop insurance premiums, certain oil shale production taxes, and credits for mining impact assistance. This bill affects specific industries like agriculture, oil and gas, and mining but does not broadly impact most taxpayers. Once effective, these tax breaks will no longer be available to companies or individuals who previously qualified for them.
