SB 18-208

Senate Bill 18-208, which has been signed into law, establishes a fund specifically for maintaining and operating Colorado's Governor's Mansion. This fund will be supported by income generated from the mansion’s activities, such as rental fees. The money in this fund can be used to cover various operational costs and maintenance needs of the mansion, but if there isn't enough money in the fund to cover all necessary repairs or upkeep, the Department of Personnel is still allowed to seek additional funding through existing processes. This bill affects how the Governor's Mansion is maintained and funded going forward. Since it has been signed into law, the provisions outlined in the bill are now active and being implemented.
