Status: Governor signed (02/27/2025)
Introduced: 02/03/2025 | Effective for FY 2024-25 (begins 07/01/2024)
Primary sponsors: Sens. Bridges, Amabile, Kirkmeyer; Reps. Bird, Sirota, Taggart, Duran, McCluskie

Purpose

This bill provides supplemental appropriations to the Colorado Department of Personnel for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024. It amends Part XVI of the FY 2024-25 appropriation (Session Laws 2024, ch. 519, HB 24-1430) to add funding for agency operations, employee benefits, IT/core operations, statewide programs, and other departmental functions. The measure is a fiscal (appropriations) bill and does not change substantive policy.

Key provisions and notable line items

  • Adds supplemental spending across the Department of Personnel’s budget units, including the Executive Director’s Office, Statewide Special Purpose programs, the Division of Human Resources, and Risk Management Services.
  • Major line items (selected):
    • CORE (statewide IT/core operations): $41,132,322 (reappropriated and other sources).
    • Payments to OIT (IT support): $12,838,155.
    • Annual depreciation/lease-equivalent payment: $2,724,839.
    • Department Administration — Personal services: $2,635,762 (22.3 FTE).
    • Health, Life, and Dental (benefit funding): $6,961,186.
    • Unfunded liability amortization/equalization payments: $3,808,010.
    • Salary survey: $1,341,473.
    • PERA direct distribution: $688,361.
    • Workers’ compensation: $396,122.
    • Colorado State Employees Assistance Program: $1,677,298 (14.0 FTE).
    • Office of the State Architect: $1,384,227 (12.0 FTE).
    • Colorado Equity Office: $1,362,575 (10.0 FTE).
    • State Procurement Equity Program: $7,830,223 total with $849,992 General Fund and 5.0 FTE noted.
  • The supplemental appropriations include combinations of General Fund, General Fund exempt, cash funds, reappropriated funds, and federal funds.

Funding sources and mechanics

  • Many items are funded from existing specialized state funds and reappropriated sources rather than new ongoing General Fund appropriations. Examples include:
    • Group Benefit Plans Reserve Fund
    • Risk Management Fund
    • Disability Support Fund
    • State Archives and Records Cash Fund
    • Department of Personnel Revolving Fund
    • Motor Fleet Management Fund
  • Some amounts reflect statewide indirect cost recoveries or continuous appropriations per statutory funds.

Who is affected

  • Department of Personnel (organizational units and staffing).
  • State employees (through benefit and compensation-related appropriations: health, retirement, PERA distributions, salary surveys).
  • State agencies that use centralized services (IT/CORE operations, procurement equity, leased facilities) because some costs are recharged or funded via user fees.
  • Various state trust/cash funds used to pay for benefits, risk management, archives, and other services.

Procedural / timeline information

  • Introduced in the Senate: 02/03/2025 (assigned to Appropriations).
  • Passed both chambers without amendment (Senate and House third readings in February 2025).
  • Sent to Governor: 02/21/2025; Signed by Governor: 02/27/2025.
  • Effect: Supplements FY 2024-25 appropriations (adjusts the existing budget enacted in HB 24-1430).

Impact summary

SB 25-103 is a fiscal housekeeping and supplemental funding measure that increases and reallocates appropriations within the Department of Personnel for FY 2024-25. It funds statewide IT operations, employee benefits and compensation related items, program staffing, and other administrative functions. The bill relies largely on existing cash and reappropriated fund sources for many line items; it also includes General Fund amounts for specific programs.
