HB 17-1052
signedChild Welfare Allocation Formula Factors
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHB 17-1052, a Colorado bill that has been signed into law, changes how funding is allocated for child welfare services.

This change aims to better support counties in providing necessary care to vulnerable children. Since it has been signed, this bill is now law and its provisions are being implemented.
