HB 18-1430

House Bill 18-1430, which has been signed into law, requires all state agencies in Colorado to create long-term financial plans. These plans must be submitted by November 1, 2019, and updated every year for the next four years. The plan details will be shared with the Joint Budget Committee and made public on each agency’s website. This means that starting from late 2019, state agencies like education, health, and transportation departments will have to outline their financial goals and strategies over an extended period, making it easier for voters and lawmakers to understand how these agencies plan to manage their finances in the future.
