Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Dedicated funding for Colorado pesticide cleanup
The law creates a dedicated state fund for pesticide disposal and container recycling. It receives program fees, revenue-bond proceeds, gifts, grants, donations, and any legislative funding or transfers. Money remains available for authorized program work and reasonable operating costs without yearly budget approval. Interest stays in the fund, and unspent money carries forward. The program can issue bonds backed by its revenue. Its revenue stays outside state spending limits while it retains bond authority and receives less than 10% from Colorado state or local grants. A custodial-fund controls exemption relies on fees not exceeding $100 million in the first five years; that limit ends September 1, 2031. For state budget year 2026–27, the law provides $20,771 for Department of Law legal services, assuming 0.1 full-time position. This money comes from the legal services cash fund using Agriculture Department revenue; enterprise revenue supports legal services afterward.
Annual disposal fee for pesticide registrants
Beginning November 1, 2026, applicants pay an annual disposal fee for each eligible pesticide product registered in Colorado. It applies to products registered for sale or distribution, including new and renewed registrations. The board sets the fee, capped at $50 per product with the cap adjusted annually for inflation. The adjustment uses the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood Consumer Price Index for all items. Applicants pay the Department of Agriculture with their registration filing; the fee must reasonably reflect service costs.
Paid pesticide disposal for Colorado applicators
Beginning January 1, 2027, Colorado provides pesticide disposal, container recycling, education, and regularly scheduled disposal events statewide. The program covers pesticides registered in Colorado, except products its board exempts. Commercial and private applicators can choose to participate, paying a board-set fee only when they use disposal services. The law does not specify the fee amount; the program also offers ways for participants to share disposal costs. Product registrants receive services aimed at lowering disposal costs, supporting safe disposal, and reducing liability from improper disposal. State Agricultural Commission members govern the program within the Department of Agriculture. Beginning April 1, 2028, annual legislative reports cover prior-year fees, revenue, event locations and times, products disposed of, and education activities.
