Bill Summary · HB 1167

Legislative bill overview

HB 1167 is a supplemental appropriations bill for Colorado's Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). The bill allocates additional funding to DORA beyond its regular budget to address operational needs or new initiatives. Supplemental bills typically respond to unforeseen circumstances, program expansions, or cost overruns identified after the initial budget was passed.

Why is this important

DORA oversees professional licensing, consumer protection, and regulatory compliance across Colorado—affecting occupational licenses, financial services regulation, and consumer dispute resolution. Additional funding to this agency directly impacts how efficiently it processes licenses, investigates complaints, and enforces regulations that protect Colorado consumers and businesses.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of specific details: The bill title provides no information about which DORA programs receive funding or why supplemental money is needed, making it difficult to evaluate necessity
  • Budget justification unclear: Without knowing whether this addresses emergency needs, backlog issues, or new regulatory requirements, legislators and the public cannot assess fiscal responsibility
  • Scope of impact unknown: The funding amount and intended use aren't specified in available information, leaving questions about whether this represents modest adjustment or significant resource reallocation
