HB 25-1124

House Bill 25-1124, also known as the Universal Contracting Provision Requirements bill, simplifies rules for state agencies when they contract with providers for behavioral health services in Colorado. The bill removes 13 existing requirements and adds one new requirement to help connect individuals more easily to the statewide behavioral health safety net system. This change affects how state agencies manage contracts related to mental health and substance abuse treatment. Since the bill has been signed, it is now law and its provisions are being implemented.
