House Bill 22-1209 Summary

• Prevents the sunset of the Strategic Action Planning Group on Aging, which was scheduled to be repealed on September 1, 2022, by removing it from the list of advisory committees subject to sunset review.

• Transfers any unexpended and unencumbered funds from the Strategic Action Plan on Aging Cash Fund to the Older Coloradans Cash Fund as of June 30, 2022, for use by the Colorado Commission on Aging to implement recommendations from the Strategic Action Planning Group.

• Amends references throughout statute to the strategic action plan developed pursuant to section 24-32-3406 to specify the plan "as that section existed prior to June 30, 2022," preserving the plan's application despite the group's sunset.

• Updates the Colorado Commission on Aging's duties to continue coordinating implementation of the strategic action plan and maintaining technical advisory committees to direct implementation of recommendations.

• Clarifies that most amendments take effect only if House Bill 22-1035 becomes law, while Section 1 (fund transfer) takes effect upon passage.
