Income applied under section 25.5-4-209(1) does not disqualify covered recipients from specified medical, public-assistance, or child care benefits. This protection applies to recipients defined in section 26-2-103(8). It does not protect all income or cover every assistance program. - Eligible public retirees keep benefits while working: benefit, medium. Eligible Colorado PERA service retirees can earn a salary without a reduction in retirement benefits. They must not have worked for any employer during the month their retirement took effect. A special school-employer rule covers certain small rural or rural school districts and boards of cooperati… - At-risk school rules stay in place: benefit, medium. Colorado’s at-risk school measure rules remain in effect. The law removes their scheduled July 1, 2025, repeal. This preserves the rules used for public school districts and students counted in the measure. - Funeral help allowed for covered members: benefit, low. The state department can pay funeral and final disposition expenses when a covered member dies. Payments follow department rules and the same process used for public-assistance recipients. The law sets no payment amount and does not guarantee payment in every case. - Acute treatment units lose fee requirement: benefit, low. Acute treatment units no longer owe the fee assessment required by the removed provision in section 25-3-105(1)(c). The supplied text does not state the fee amount. It also does not establish any reduction in patients’ bills. - Student work-learning pilot gets revised timeline: benefit, low. The department must convene the work-based learning group after the section takes effect, subject to receiving enough funds. The group meets for three years after that effective date. The pilot’s outside platform must support real-world learning built into courses with faculty involvement. - Some record-sealing filers lose fee waiver: cost, low. The law removes the automatic $65 processing-fee waiver for motions to seal records under section 24-72-706(1)(f.5). People filing these motions owe the fee unless another fee-waiver ground applies. The charge is $65 per affected filing. - Updated tax-sale rules for affected landowners: mixed, low. Beginning July 1, 2024, covered tax-sale and tax-deed proceedings must follow article 11.5 of title 39. This covers drainage districts, their assignees, certificate holders, and county treasurers. Drainage-district land awards, certificates, and deeds are barred to the extent they conflict with tha… - Notice deadline no longer triggers repeal: mixed, low. The law removes an automatic repeal tied to a notice deadline for part 44. The old rule ended part 44 on June 30, 2026, without the required notice by June 29, 2026. Part 44 no longer ends for that reason. The supplied text does not explain what part 44 covers. - Highway money shifts from local governments: mixed, low. Beginning August 12, 2026, specified revenues go to the state highway fund for Colorado Department of Transportation spending. The law removes the former split: 50% to counties and 50% to cities and incorporated towns. Covered money comes from transfers under sections 24-75-219 and 39-26-123(4)(a),… - Fuel distributor bond adjustment authority ends: mixed, low. The revenue director can require fuel distributors to report and pay tax on nonmonthly or additional schedules for tax administration. Beginning August 12, 2026, the director loses this provision’s authority to adjust bonds proportionately when those schedules change. This applies to gasoline and s… - Mineral tax revenue allocation wording changes: mixed, low. Beginning August 12, 2026, mineral and mineral-fuel severance tax receipts follow subsection (1)’s allocation rule without the stated subsection (3) exception. The law removes the express reference to that exception. The supplied text gives no resulting amounts for recipients. A referendum petition… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Dylan Roberts (Democratic), Senate - Sponsor: John Carson (Republican), Senate - Sponsor: Sean Camacho (Democratic), House - Sponsor: Stephanie Luck (Republican), House -
