CO SB089

Expands the existing breast and cervical cancer screening program to include colorectal cancer screenings and other screenable cancers using the $5 million annual appropriation from the tobacco tax cash fund.

Renames the "breast cancer screening fund" to the "cancer screening fund" and authorizes its use for multiple cancer types.

Requires the advisory board to allocate minimum funding annually: $2.5 million for breast and cervical cancer screenings, $1 million for colorectal cancer screenings, and additional funds for other screenable cancers if feasible.

Modifies eligibility criteria to serve persons who meet evidence-based and clinical guidelines for each screenable cancer, rather than the previous age-based requirements (40-64 years old at or below 250% of federal poverty line).

Takes effect July 1, 2022, subject to referendum petition approval by voters in the November 2022 general election.
