Summary of Legislation
The bill directs that the net proceeds of reimbursements to the Colorado State Patrol for costs incurred in mitigating hazardous substance incidents be credited to the Highway Users Tax Fund.
The bill would be effective upon signature of the Governor and shall apply to moneys collected on or after that date.
State Revenues
Currently, moneys reimbursed to the Colorado State Patrol for costs incurred in mitigating hazardous substance incidents have been deposited in the state General Fund. Over the last three years, reversions under existing statute from the General Fund have averaged about $37,000 a year ($24,723 in FY 1996, $44,938 in FY 1997 and $39,587 in FY 1998). Under this proposed legislation, these moneys recovered by the Colorado State Patrol would be credited to the Highway Users Tax Fund (HUTF). The amount of collection would not change under this legislation, only the fund to which it is credited. There is no increase or decrease in state revenues or expenditures.

Pursuant to the Joint Budget Committee’s budget policies, the following expenditures have not been included in this fiscal note:
• health and life insurance costs;
• short-term disability costs;
