02:30 PM -- HB 15-1012

Representative Jon Becker, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 15-1012. Representative Becker stated that dyed diesel can currently be taxed legally under certain circumstances, and noted that HB15-1012 is a clean-up bill that will clarify when dyed diesel is exempt from sales and use taxes.

02:32 PM -- Steve Cure, representing Agfinity and the Colorado Wyoming Petroleum Marketers Association (CWPMA), came to the table to testify in support of the bill. He explained that his company sells roughly 60 million gallons of fuel a year, of which a large amount is dyed diesel fuel. He told the committee about the existing exemptions for dyed diesel sales and use tax collections, and the genesis of the bill, which is to clear up confusion from the Department of Revenue (DOR) surrounding collection of sales and use taxes on dyed diesel for certain uses. He detailed how fuel is distributed by his company in the state, and responded to questions from the committee on the collection of sales and use taxes and excise taxes on fuel in Colorado.

02:38 PM -- Grier Baily, representing CWPMA, testified in support of the bill. He explained to the committee how sales and use taxes and excise taxes are collected on fuel in the state. He thanked the DOR for working with fuel distributors on the bill. Mr. Grier also discussed how home rule affects city collection of taxes on fuel.
