Regional Transportation District Operating Costs

Changed the definition of 'operating costs' in C.R.S. 32-9-119.7 to explicitly exclude depreciation, making it clear that depreciation should not be counted when calculating cost efficiency metrics for the regional transportation district.

Clarified that operating costs exclude depreciation and costs associated with long-term planning, mass transportation infrastructure development, and ADA-mandated services.

Added formatting notes and signature lines indicating the bill is prepared for legislative and gubernatorial signatures.

The definition of 'operating costs' was modified to explicitly state that depreciation is excluded from the calculation, replacing ambiguous language that previously said 'including EXCLUDING depreciation'.

Added clarification that costs for long-term planning, development of mass transportation infrastructure, and services mandated by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are excluded from operating costs.

Removed redundant and conflicting language about what to include and exclude, replacing it with clearer statutory language that aligns with the bill's intent.

Added five new Senate sponsors to the bill sponsorship list: Coleman, Hinrichsen, Jodeh, Weissman, and Winter F.

Changed document status from 'Engrossed' to 'Reengrossed' to reflect that all amendments have been adopted.

Added a 3rd Reading Unamended bill summary dated February 4, 2025, with a note that the summary does not reflect subsequent amendments.

The bill status changed from 'Introduced' to 'Engrossed' with updated dates and inclusion of all amendments adopted on second reading in the House of Representatives.

Page numbering and formatting were updated to reflect the bill's progression through the legislative process, including the addition of amendment tracking dates.
