SB 25-100 — Department of Local Affairs Supplemental (Governor Signed)

Status: Governor signed (Feb 27, 2025)
Introduced: Feb 3, 2025
Effective for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024 (supplemental to FY 2024‑25 appropriations)
Primary sponsors: Senators Bridges, Amabile, Kirkmeyer; Representatives Bird, Sirota, Taggart

Purpose / Intent

SB 25-100 is a supplemental appropriations bill that modifies Part XIII (Department of Local Affairs) of the FY 2024‑25 appropriations enacted in HB 24‑1430. Its purpose is to adjust funding and line‑item appropriations across the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) for the current fiscal year — providing additional resources, reallocations, and updated funding source specifications to support DOLA operations, grant programs, housing activities, property taxation, and related functions.

Key provisions and changes

  • Amends Section 2 of chapter 519 (HB 24‑1430) to revise FY 2024‑25 appropriations for DOLA, including the Executive Director’s Office (Administration), the State Demography Office, and other DOLA divisions (full bill text contains detailed line items).
  • Inserts or adjusts specific line‑item amounts for administrative functions such as:
    • Personal services: $2,186,478 (20.1 FTE shown for Administration)
    • Health, life, and dental: $3,174,283
    • Payments to the Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT): amounts shown around $4.0 million (revised figures appear)
    • CORE operations, leased space, vehicle leases, legal services, and other operating expenses with specified dollar amounts
  • Updates funding source allocations for many line items, specifying mixes of:
    • General Fund
    • Cash funds (e.g., Local Government Severance Tax Fund; Local Government Mineral Impact Fund; Marijuana Tax Cash Fund; Affordable Housing Support Fund; Transformational Affordable Housing Revolving Loan Fund; Mobile Home Park Resident Empowerment Fund; Moffat Tunnel Cash Fund; Conservation Trust Fund)
    • Reappropriated funds
    • Federal funds
  • Clarifies that certain appropriations are shown for informational purposes because those funds are continuously appropriated by statute (for example, Affordable Housing Support Fund and several housing‑related funds).
  • Notes transfers and interagency recoveries (e.g., departmental indirect cost recoveries, transfers from Department of Health Care Policy & Financing for home modification benefit administration).

Who is affected

  • Department of Local Affairs (internal operations, staff, IT, leased space, and administrative budgets)
  • Local governments and special districts that receive severance tax, mineral impact, and other local government grants administered by DOLA
  • Housing programs and recipients (including funds tied to affordable housing supports, housing development grants, transformational affordable housing loan fund, and mobile home park programs)
  • Users of the State Demography Office products (planning, population estimates)
  • Other state agencies that pay indirect costs or receive transfers specified in the bill (notably Health Care Policy & Financing and OIT)

Fiscal and procedural notes

  • The bill revises FY 2024‑25 appropriations (supplemental to HB 24‑1430) and reallocates multiple line items among funding sources; many cash‑fund sources and interagency transfers are specified in the bill text.
  • Legislative action timeline:
    • Introduced in Senate: Feb 3, 2025; passed both chambers with no amendments (Senate 2/6/25; House 2/13/25)
    • Sent to Governor: Feb 21, 2025; Signed by Governor: Feb 27, 2025
  • House Committee on Appropriations recommended the bill favorably. A committee amendment file is noted but not adopted.
