HB 18-1369 Summary

• Repeals obsolete statutory references to the Proposition AA refund account, which was repealed in 2017, across multiple Colorado statutes.

• Removes references to the Proposition AA refund account from seven Colorado Revised Statutes sections related to student re-engagement grants, school bullying prevention, retail marijuana impact grants, gray and black market marijuana enforcement, poison control services, and youth mentoring services.

• Updates statutory language to reflect that funds may be appropriated from the marijuana tax cash fund only, rather than from the Proposition AA refund account as an alternative source.

• Clarifies that repealing these references does not alter the scope or applicability of the statutory sections in which they appear.

• Takes effect on August 8, 2018, unless subject to a referendum petition, in which case approval by voters in the November 2018 general election is required.
