HB 22-1369

House Bill 22-1369, also known as the Children's Mental Health Programs bill, allocates $2 million from the state’s economic recovery fund to the Department of Early Childhood. The department will then contract with a Colorado-based nonprofit organization to provide mental health programs for children. This bill has been signed into law and is now in effect, meaning that the necessary funding and implementation process can begin to support children's mental health through these new programs.
