HB 26-1102

HB 26-1102 is a Colorado bill that aims to increase funding for vehicle services by redirecting certain fees to the DRIVES account. Starting July 1, 2027, it will move $2 from each late vehicle registration fee and personalized license plate fees to this account, while also allowing the Department of Revenue to charge fees for missed or last-minute canceled appointments for driver's licenses and related services starting August 12, 2026. This bill affects drivers and vehicle owners in Colorado who might incur these fees. Since it has been signed into law, these changes will take effect as scheduled unless there are further legislative actions that impact its implementation.
