Summary
HB26-1405, sponsored by Representatives Kyle Brown and Emily Sirota and Senators Judy Amabile and Barbara Kirkmeyer, requires the Colorado state treasurer to execute multiple cash fund transfers totaling over $91 million to the state general fund on specified dates in June and July 2026, with additional transfers scheduled for June 2027 and recurring annual transfers through 2033. Affected cash funds include the school and child care clean drinking water fund ($5.3 million), information technology revolving fund ($21 million combined), severance tax operational fund ($18.4 million combined), local government severance tax fund ($19.4 million), and approximately 20 other named cash funds.

About this source
The Colorado General Assembly publishes every bill, amendment, fiscal note, and committee report introduced during the legislative session through this feed. Around 140 entries a month while the legislature is in session, covering education, healthcare, workforce, environment, criminal justice, and tax. Colorado is one of the fastest-moving states for cannabis, healthcare reform, and worker protection legislation, so what gets introduced here often previews what other states will copy a year or two later. Watch this if you lobby in Colorado, advise multistate clients on regulatory creep, or track interstate trends in any of those areas. GovPing publishes each bill with the sponsor, status, and committee assignment.
What changed
HB26-1405 adds a statutory requirement for the Colorado state treasurer to execute a series of inter-fund transfers from approximately 30 named cash funds to the state general fund, with the largest transfers being $19.4 million from the local government severance tax fund (June 30, 2026), $18.4 million combined from the severance tax operational fund (June 2026 and June 2027), $21 million from the information technology revolving fund, and $5.3 million from the school and child care clean drinking water fund. The bill also establishes a recurring annual transfer of $400,000 from the mobile home park resident empowerment loan and grant program fund on each June 30 from 2027 through 2033. Affected parties include state agencies and programs that maintain balances in the enumerated cash funds, as the transfers reduce available balances in those funds. State finance and treasury personnel should confirm the applicable transfer dates and amounts for funds under their administration, and monitor conference committee outcomes for any amendments affecting the transfer schedule.
