SB 25-257

Senate Bill 25-257 modifies how money is transferred from Colorado's general fund to the state highway fund. It reduces planned transfers in 2025 and 2026 but increases them starting in 2029, with an additional transfer in 2032. The bill also cancels some funding for revitalizing main streets. Since it has been signed into law, these changes will now take effect as scheduled, impacting how the state allocates funds for highways and local street revitalization projects.
