SB 25-255: Transfer to Hazardous Substance Response Fund - Colorado

Rerevised (04/10/2025) → Revised (04/09/2025) · 2 edits

MINOR

The bill text was updated from a 'Rerevised' version to a 'Revised' version, reflecting that amendments adopted during the second reading in the Senate have been incorporated. The House sponsorship list was shortened by removing three co-sponsors (Sirota, Smith, and Taggart), while the Senate sponsorship remains unchanged. These changes indicate procedural progress in the legislative process rather than substantive policy modifications.

TECHNICAL

Updated revision status from 'Rerevised' to 'Revised' to reflect that all amendments adopted during the second reading in the Senate have been included in this version.

Removed three co-sponsors (Sirota, Smith, and Taggart) from the House sponsorship list, indicating they may have withdrawn their support or the list was updated to reflect current sponsors.

Final Act (04/16/2025) → Rerevised (04/10/2025) · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill text was reorganized and reformatted from a final act version to a rerevised version, but the substantive policy content remains unchanged. The core provision requiring a $6 million transfer from the General Fund to the Hazardous Substance Response Fund on July 1, 2025, is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The bill was restructured from a final act format (prepared for signature) to a rerevised bill format showing legislative history and committee assignments. This is a procedural change for tracking purposes, not a policy change.

Added bill summary section and legislative history dates showing the bill's progression through Senate and House readings in April 2025.

Removed final act notice text and signature lines from the Governor and legislative officers, as this version represents the bill before final enactment.
