What changed

Colorado Bill HB26-1266, introduced for the 2026 regular session, proposes to repeal existing retail delivery fees. These fees are currently levied on retail sales of tangible personal property delivered by motor vehicle within the state, collected by various state enterprises including the clean fleet enterprise and nonattainment area air pollution mitigation enterprise. The bill aims to eliminate these fees, with the proposed repeal taking effect 90 days after the final adjournment of the general assembly in 2026.

This proposed legislation, if enacted, would remove a current fee obligation for retailers making deliveries within Colorado. While the bill is in the draft stage and has been postponed indefinitely by a House committee, regulated entities, particularly retailers and transportation-related enterprises operating in Colorado, should monitor its progress. The repeal is scheduled to take effect in 2026, but the bill's current status indicates uncertainty regarding its final passage.
