Easier searches for Colorado secure transport providers

Beginning August 12, 2026, at 12:01 a.m., Colorado requires two easy-to-find online lists of secure transportation providers. The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing must list providers with managed care contracts on its website. The Behavioral Health Administration must list providers with behavioral health administrative services organization contracts on its website. Each list must include provider contact information, including an active phone number or website. A referendum petition filed within 90 days after the 2026 legislative session ends delays the law's start. In that case, the law takes effect only after voter approval at the November 2026 general election. The start date then becomes the date the governor officially declares the vote.
