      Concerning the repeal of the state facility security fund.
      
      
      Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
      
           SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 24-33.5-1610, amend
      (2) (a) as follows:
      
           24-33.5-1610.  Compliance with standards. (2) (a)  State
      departments and agencies shall be required to comply with any such rule
      that requires funding only if funds are available in the state facility security
      fund created pursuant to section 24-33.5-1613 to the department or
      agency.
      
           SECTION 2.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, repeal 24-33.5-1613
      as follows:
      
           24-33.5-1613.  State facility security fund. (1)  There is hereby
      created in the state treasury the state facility security fund, which shall
      contain:
      
           (a)  Moneys appropriated thereto by the general assembly from time
      to time; and
      
           (b)  Gifts or donations made to the state or any agency or department
      of state government specifically for the purpose of implementing rules
      adopted pursuant to section 24-33.5-1608 or 24-33.5-1609.
      
           (2)  The moneys in the state facility security fund shall be
      continuously available to the department of personnel for disbursement to
      executive branch departments and agencies for the implementation of rules
      adopted pursuant to sections 24-33.5-1608 and 24-33.5-1609. All moneys
      in the fund at the end of any fiscal year shall not be transferred or revert to
      the general fund at the end of any fiscal year.
      
           (3)  A state department or agency may apply to the director of the
      department of personnel for the allocation of moneys necessary to
      implement rules adopted pursuant to section 24-33.5-1608 or
      24-33.5-1609.
      
           (4)  The department of personnel shall allocate available moneys
      based on critical need, as determined based on an evaluation of the mission
      and essential functions of a department or agency. Available moneys shall
      be allocated first to those departments and agencies where even a minimal
      disruption of service would seriously affect the state's economy or the
      ability of the state government to protect the safety, security, and welfare
      of the people of the state.
      
           SECTION 3.  Act subject to petition - effective date. This act
      takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on the day following the expiration of the
      ninety-day period after final adjournment of the general assembly (August
      5, 2015, if adjournment sine die is on May 6, 2015); except that, if a
      referendum petition is filed pursuant to section 1 (3) of article V of the state
      constitution against this act or an item, section, or part of this act within
      such period, then the act, item, section, or part will not take effect unless
      approved by the people at the general election to be held in November 2016
      and, in such case, will take effect on the date of the official declaration of
      the vote thereon by the governor.
