Final Act → Signed Act · 4 edits · May 29, 2026

MODERATE

The bill text was updated to reflect its final passage and signature by the Governor, removing standard legislative notes about checking status and replacing placeholder signature lines with actual signatures. While the core policy regarding fund allocation remains the same, the document now serves as the official signed law rather than a draft prepared for signing.

TECHNICAL

Removed the introductory note instructing readers to consult legislative status sheets to verify the Governor's action, as the bill is now officially signed.

Deleted the blank lines and placeholder text for legislative officers' signatures that appeared before the final act was completed.

Added the actual signatures of the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, Chief Clerk of the House, Secretary of the Senate, and the Governor to finalize the document.

Corrected minor formatting inconsistencies, such as extra indentation and spacing, to align with the final signed version of the act.

MINOR

This bill finalizes the allocation of retail delivery fee revenue to Colorado's multimodal transportation fund, setting a specific spending schedule that shifts from a temporary pre-July 2026 distribution to a permanent post-July 2026 split of 70% for local projects and 30% for state projects. It also clarifies the formula for distributing local funds based on population and transit ridership while maintaining requirements for local matching funds.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on the allocation of specific state revenue to the Multimodal Transportation and Mitigation Options Fund, but it codifies the spending percentages and timelines that were previously subject to change.

TIMELINE

The spending schedule was split into two distinct periods: before July 1, 2026, and beginning July 1, 2026, to clarify when the new permanent allocation rules take effect.

FISCAL

The allocation percentages for the fund were standardized to 70% for local multimodal projects and 30% for state multimodal projects starting July 1, 2026.

REQUIREMENT

New language was added to specify that recipients of local project funding must provide a financial match equal to the award amount, with potential exceptions for smaller governments.
