HB 26-1404

House Bill 26-1404 transfers $10 million from a fund that supports tobacco education programs to a preschool program fund in Colorado. This change will happen on June 30, 2027, and it means that the money originally set aside for tobacco education will instead be used to support early childhood education initiatives. The bill has been signed into law, so this transfer is scheduled to occur as planned.
