Colorado Legislative Events
Summary
Colorado House Bill HB26-1381 passed the House on April 11, 2026, by a vote of 61-0. The bill eliminates the requirement that the Commission on Judicial Discipline Special Cash Fund maintain a minimum balance of $400,000 at the beginning of each state fiscal year. The bill now proceeds to the Senate for consideration.
What changed
Colorado HB26-1381 eliminates a statutory minimum balance requirement for the Commission on Judicial Discipline Special Cash Fund. Currently, the fund must begin each state fiscal year with at least $400,000 on hand. The bill removes this threshold, allowing the fund to operate without the mandated reserve.
Affected parties include the Colorado judicial system and state budget administrators who manage the Commission's cash fund. The bill's passage through the House unanimously (61-0) and the Appropriations Committee (10-1) indicates strong legislative support for this fiscal policy change.
