House Bill 17-1272 Summary

• Amends C.R.S. 8-72-101(3)(b) to require the Department of Labor and Employment to provide annual updates to the General Assembly on the status of a fund during hearings conducted pursuant to section 2-7-203, with reports due by August 31st each year to the joint budget committee and relevant house and senate committees.

• Amends C.R.S. 24-46.3-205 to establish a scheduled repeal of reporting requirements for a grant program, with the department required to submit annual reports by December 15th beginning in 2016 that detail grant awards, participating hospitality programs, and student impact numbers.

• Makes the repeal of the grant program reporting requirements effective on December 16, 2019, eliminating the department's obligation to continue submitting those reports after that date.

• Effective date is August 9, 2017 (or 90 days after final adjournment), unless a referendum petition is filed, in which case approval by voters at the November 2018 general election is required.
