       not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill
       passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that

            The bill allows the general assembly to appropriate general fund
       moneys to implement and administer the teen pregnancy and dropout
       prevention program created in the department of health care policy and
       financing.
            The bill extends the repeal date of the program from September 1,
       2016, to September 1, 2020, and requires the department of regulatory
       agencies to review the program prior to its repeal.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 25.5-5-603, amend
       (3) as follows:
            25.5-5-603.  Program - teen pregnancy and dropout
       prevention. (3)  The teen pregnancy and dropout prevention program
       shall may be financed with federal funds, general funds, local
       contributions, and any grants or donations from private entities. No
       general fund moneys shall be used to finance the program; except that the
       general assembly may appropriate any moneys necessary for the internal
       administrative costs of the department for providing expanded program
       promotion and oversight.
            SECTION 2.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, amend 25.5-5-605
       as follows:
            25.5-5-605.  Repeal of part. This part 6 is repealed, effective
       September 1, 2016 2020. Prior to such repeal, the teen pregnancy and
       dropout prevention program implemented by the department pursuant to
       this part 6 shall be reviewed as provided in section 24-34-104, C.R.S.
            SECTION 3.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 24-34-104, repeal
       (47.5) (g).
            SECTION 4.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 24-34-104, add
       (51.5) (j) as follows:
            24-34-104.  General assembly review of regulatory agencies
       and functions for termination, continuation, or reestablishment.
       (51.5)  The following agencies, functions, or both, terminate on
       September 1, 2020:
            (j)  The teen pregnancy and dropout prevention program,
       created in section 25.5-5-603, C.R.S.
            SECTION 5.  Appropriation - adjustments to 2015 long bill.
       (1) To implement this act, appropriations made in the annual general
       appropriation act for the 2015-16 state fiscal year to the department of
       health care policy and financing are adjusted as follows:
            (a) The general fund appropriation for medical services premiums
       is increased by $36,144. This appropriation is subject to the "(M)"
       notation as defined in the general appropriation act for the same fiscal
       year.
            (b) The cash funds appropriation from certified public
       expenditures is decreased by $30,026.
            (2)  For the 2015-16 state fiscal year, the general assembly
       anticipates that the department of health care policy and financing will
       receive $2,293,982 in federal funds for medical services premiums. The
       appropriation in subsection (1) of this section is based on the assumption
       that the department will receive this amount of federal funds.
            SECTION 6.  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.
