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.
Official Summary
The act provides that the motorcycle operator safety training fund is no longer immediately and continuously available for use by the office of the chief of the state patrol in the department of public safety (office), and instead is available to be expended by the office subject to annual appropriation by the general assembly. $1,110,000 is appropriated from the motorcycle operator safety training fund to the department of public safety for use by the Colorado state patrol for the motorcycle operator safety training program.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
