CO HB1164

Extends the period for which Colorado state individual income tax return forms must include a voluntary contribution line for the Unwanted Horse Fund from tax years 2013-2017 to tax years 2013-2018.

Changes the repeal date of Part 38 (the Unwanted Horse Fund program) from a variable date based on executive director certification to a fixed date of January 1, 2019.

Allows taxpayers to voluntarily designate contributions to the Unwanted Horse Fund when filing state income taxes during the extended period.

Requires the general assembly to affirmatively continue or reestablish the fund by bill before January 1, 2019 to prevent automatic repeal of the program.

Effective date is 90 days after final adjournment of the 2013 legislative session (August 7, 2013), subject to voter approval if a referendum petition is filed.
