SB 25-262

Senate Bill 25-262 changes how money is managed in Colorado's Capital Construction Fund and its Information Technology (IT) subaccount. Starting from July 1, 2025, any leftover funds will be moved into the state’s general fund instead of staying in these specific accounts. This includes transferring interest earned on investments to the general fund as well. Additionally, the bill requires certain amounts of money to be transferred back into these funds and subaccounts from the general fund and other sources by July 1, 2025. The bill has been signed into law, meaning its provisions will take effect according to the specified timeline.
