Colorado Cash Funds Move to Three-Year Reserve Limits
Summary
Colorado HB26-1393 proposes exempting the public school construction and inspection cash fund and health facility construction and inspection cash fund from annual maximum reserve limitations. Under existing law, cash funds must reduce fees when uncommitted reserves exceed maximums at fiscal year-end. The bill would instead trigger fee reduction requirements only if reserves exceed the maximum for 3 consecutive fiscal years.
What changed
The bill modifies reserve requirement triggers for two specific Colorado cash funds. Currently, state agencies must reduce fees annually when uncommitted reserves exceed statutory maximums. HB26-1393 would allow agencies to maintain higher reserves for up to two fiscal years before triggering fee reduction obligations, requiring reductions only after three consecutive years of excess reserves.\n\nAffected government agencies administering these cash funds (public school construction inspection and health facility construction inspection) would gain greater flexibility in managing fee structures and fund reserves. Schools and healthcare facilities may see more stable fee environments with reduced annual adjustment requirements.

Recent Bill (PDF) Recent Fiscal Note (PDF) Bill Summary:
Joint Budget Committee. Under existing law, cash funds are subject to a maximum amount of uncommitted funds that may be held in reserve at the end of each fiscal year (maximum reserve). If a fund's uncommitted reserves exceed the maximum reserve, the entity that imposes fees that are deposited in the fund shall reduce the amount of one or more of the fees to an amount calculated to reduce the uncommitted reserves to an amount that does not exceed the maximum reserve.
The bill exempts the public school construction and inspection cash fund and the health facility construction and inspection cash fund from the annual maximum reserve limitations. Instead, the funds are subject to the same substantive requirements if the uncommitted reserves of the fund exceed the maximum reserve for 3 consecutive fiscal years.
