CO HB1228

Repeals the requirement for the Department of Revenue to contract with a private entity to monitor and evaluate driver improvement schools, effective July 1, 2015.

Eliminates the defensive driving school fund monitoring program and requires all unexpended and unencumbered moneys remaining in the fund as of January 1, 2015, to be transferred to the general fund.

Removes the penalty surcharge requirement that persons attending court-ordered driver improvement schools must pay, which previously funded the monitoring program.

Reduces the cash funds appropriation from the defensive driving school fund by $73,145 for the Division of Motor Vehicles driver services sub-division for fiscal year 2014-2015.

Maintains court authority to require attendance at driver improvement schools and allows courts to suspend fines or sentences upon completion, but removes state oversight and monitoring requirements.
