HB 26-1394
signedChange Motorcycle Operator Fund to Annual Appropriation
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHouse Bill 26-1394 changes how money from the Motorcycle Operator Safety Training Fund is used. Instead of being available all year for the state patrol office, this fund will now need yearly approval by lawmakers before it can be spent each fiscal year. This affects motorcycle safety training programs and their funding in Colorado. Since the bill has been signed, it means that the new rules are now law and will apply to future budgets.
