HB 17-1054

HB 17-1054, also known as the Community-military Cooperation bill, aims to improve partnerships between military bases and their local communities. It encourages these groups to work together on shared services that can save money and make operations more efficient. The Department of Local Affairs is tasked with supporting such collaborations within its existing resources. Since the bill has been signed into law, it means that military installations and local governments in Colorado now have official support for creating cooperative agreements to enhance their efficiency and cost-saving efforts.
