Small businesses keep pollution compliance help

Colorado extends its small-business air pollution compliance-assistance program and advisory panel from September 1, 2026, to September 1, 2036. A legislative committee must review the panel before its scheduled repeal. The related sunset scheduling language is repealed September 1, 2038. The law adds no funding or set amount of help for businesses. It takes effect August 12, 2026, if the legislature ends its session on May 13, 2026. If a referendum petition is filed within the allowed period, voter approval at the November 2026 general election is required. In that case, the effective date is when the governor officially declares the vote.
