      Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
      
           SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 24-102-202.5, amend

           24-102-202.5.  Supplier database - fees - cash fund - program
      account. (2) (a)  Each business that wishes to be included in the database
      created pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall pay a registration fee
      as determined by the executive director. The executive director shall set and
      collect such fees as are necessary to cover the direct and indirect costs that
      are incurred in implementing the provisions of this section. The revenue
      from such fees shall be transmitted to the state treasurer, who shall credit
      the same to the supplier database cash fund, which fund is hereby created.
      The general assembly shall make appropriations from such fund as
      necessary to implement the provisions of this section. In accordance with
      section 24-36-114, all interest derived from the deposit and investment of
      this fund shall be credited to the general fund. All moneys not expended
      or encumbered and all interest earned on the investment or
      deposit of the moneys in the fund shall remain in the fund and
      shall not revert to the general fund or any other fund at the end
      of any fiscal year.
      
           (2.5) (a)  The executive director shall develop and implement a
      statewide centralized electronic procurement system to allow the utilization
      of technology to create a more efficient delivery of state procurement
      services. The executive director shall set and collect fees from vendors with
      cooperative purchasing agreements and from local public procurement
      units, as defined in section 24-110-101 (3), and that are participating in the
      electronic procurement system, as necessary to cover the direct and indirect
      costs of implementing and maintaining the electronic procurement system.
      In addition, the executive director may collect moneys from cooperative
      purchasing organizations for procurement support.
      
           (b)  Prior to July 1, 2013, the revenue from the fees and any
      moneys received from cooperative purchasing organizations pursuant to
      paragraph (a) of this subsection (2.5), shall be transmitted to the state
      treasurer, who shall credit the same to the electronic procurement program
      account, which is hereby created within the supplier database cash fund
      created in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of this section. The moneys in the
      account shall be annually appropriated by the general assembly for the
      purposes of implementing and maintaining the electronic procurement
      system. All moneys not expended or encumbered and all interest earned on
      the investment or deposit of the moneys in the account shall remain in the
      account and shall not revert to the general fund or any other fund at the end
      of any fiscal year; except that any unexpended moneys remaining in
      the account on June 30, 2013, shall be transferred to the supplier
      database cash fund.
      
           (c)  Beginning July 1, 2013, the revenue from the fees and any
      moneys collected from cooperative purchasing organizations
      pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (2.5), shall be
      transmitted to the state treasurer, who shall credit the same to
      the supplier database cash fund created in paragraph (a) of
      subsection (2) of this section.
      
           SECTION 2.  Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds,
      determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
      preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
