      Concerning requiring the commission on family medicine to
           support the development of rural family medicine residency
           programs, and, in connection therewith, making an
           appropriation.
      
      
      Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
      
           SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 25-1-903, add (1) (f)
      as follows:
      
           25-1-903.  Duties of commission - repeal. (1)  The commission
      shall:
      
           (f) (I)  Support the development of family medicine residency
      programs in rural areas for purposes of cultivating family
      medicine practitioners who are likely to continue practicing in
      rural areas at the conclusion of the residency programs.
      
           (II)  This paragraph (f) is repealed, effective July 1, 2016.
      
           SECTION 2.  Appropriation. In addition to any other
      appropriation, there is hereby appropriated, out of any moneys in the
      general fund not otherwise appropriated, to the department of health care
      policy and financing, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, the sum of
      $500,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for allocation to other
      medical services, for the commission on family medicine residency training
      programs, for the development of family medicine residency programs in
      rural areas. Said sum is subject to the "(M)" notation as defined in the
      general appropriation act. In addition to said appropriation, the general
      assembly anticipates that, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, the
      department of health care policy and financing will receive the sum of
      $500,000 in federal funds, for allocation to other medical services, for the
      commission on family medicine residency training programs, for the
      development of family medicine residency programs in rural areas.
      Although the federal funds are not appropriated in this act, they are noted
      for the purpose of indicating the assumptions used relative to these funds
      in developing the state appropriation amounts.
      
           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
      7, 2013, if adjournment sine die is on May 8, 2013); 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 2014
      and, in such case, will take effect on the date of the official declaration of
      the vote thereon by the governor.
